Tourism Internships in Beijing

Taking a gap year with Go Abroad China was one of the most impactful decisions I’ve ever made. I joined the GAC Gap Year Learn Chinese & Internship Program with the hope of gaining new experiences—and I ended up gaining so much more. During the first half, I studied Mandarin at a top Chinese university. The classes were immersive, interactive, and surprisingly fun. I could see my improvement every week, especially with the extra support from local tutors and the chance to practice outside the classroom. Then came the internship. I was matched with a startup in Beijing, and I was trusted with real responsibilities—marketing research, helping with project planning, even joining meetings. It boosted my confidence, taught me how to adapt to different work styles, and gave me clarity on what I want to study at university. Between the cultural excursions, language exchange meetups, and new friends I made from all over the world, this gap year gave me not just experiences, but direction and purpose. I’d 100% recommend it to anyone who’s unsure what to do next—you’ll come out with more clarity, skills, and memories than you can imagine.

Joining the internship program in China was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I was matched with a top-tier company where I worked on real projects that challenged me and helped me grow professionally. It wasn’t just about gaining work experience — it was about learning how to adapt in a global work environment, understanding cross-cultural communication, and building lifelong connections. The support from Go Abroad China was excellent — from visa help to housing and local orientation, everything was smooth and well-organized. Plus, the Mandarin classes and cultural events made my stay even more rewarding. I came back home with stronger skills, a clearer career path, and a global perspective. Highly recommended to anyone serious about building an international career.
