China is a magical place. The country’s rise from agricultural landscape to global economic powerhouse has been well documented, but China’s story isn’t finished yet. Through CRCC Asia’s award-winning internship program you can write your own chapter in this cultural behemoth’s rich history.
Cultural landmarks
China is ranked first in the list of countries with the most UNESCO world heritage sites – boasting an outrageous 55 separate landmarks. The most famous is undoubtedly The Great Wall of China, which can be first traced back to the Qin dynasty in 221BC. Today, numerous sections of The Great Wall are open to the public. Badaling is arguably the most restored section – it even has a sky-lift to take people to the top – and is relatively close to Beijing. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could visit the Laolongtou region which stretches across the beach and formally marks the end of the Great Wall.
A short drive from Shanghai will take you to Xi Tang’s ancient water town, a truly serene destination which offers a unique opportunity to experience a completely different way of life. The entire town floats upon the water, with many restaurants and local stores found on boats. Xi Tang also has a touch of Hollywood glamour as it’s the destination used to film the climatic scenes of Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible 3.
The giant panda bear is native to Southern & Western China, Chengdu is home to the panda research base which is currently the only place in the world you can physically hold a baby panda bear! North of Chengdu is Xi’an, home to the famous Terracotta Army Museum. The sculptures were crafted and buried with the first Emperor of China between 210-209BCE, the belief was that the army would protect him in the afterlife. Remarkably the Terracotta Army wasn’t found until 1974, when two farmers stumbling across them whilst digging a water well.
World-class Cities
Shanghai is a strong economy that leads to investment, better public services, and an increase in quality of life – all of which is highly evident in the emergence of China’s megacities. Our program location Shanghai benefits from excellent public transport, first-rate dining establishments, and modern office buildings. Not to mention the skyscrapers which dominate each skyline and the world-class universities in each city.
China’s reputation as a forward-thinking tech hub is clearly visible within each of its tier-1 cities. Bullet trains connect each major cities, making them hundred mile journeys possible in a few hours. Whilst apps such as DiDi and Meituan Waimai make ordering taxis and food delivery super easy. Furthermore, cashless payments are in the ascendancy across the country with an estimated 66.8% of the population using their mobile device to make a payment in 2024.

A good time in China can be had on any budget. Shanghai on average is around 40% cheaper than London and 61% cheaper than New York City. Transport (long and short haul), food, utilities, clothing, and general ticket prices are much more affordable in China than in metropolitan cities across Europe and the US.
