Apart from meeting local students, they also got to meet students who are from all around the world that go to Taiwan to learn Mandarin Chinese.

SUMMER 2022
In the summer of 2022, the first three students from TCNJ, participating in the Huayu BEST program, went to study Mandarin Chinese in Taiwan.
Immersing in Taiwanese culture, not only did they make progress in the Chinese language, but they also learned more about the culture and locals. While studying hard, they didn't forget to play hard: eating, hiking, surfing and interacting with Taiwanese people.
Taiwan has more than 268 mountain peaks over 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) above sea level. Hiking trails can be found around Taipei city, accessible via a quick subway ride.
Looking to bond with Taiwanese people? Playing Mahjong, a tradition tile-based game, can be a good way!

Beat the summer heat with surfing. Our students went surfing at the Wushigang beach.
