Which city should I choose?
Many students ask us which city they should study in. The most popular options are between Beijing,
Shanghai, and Hong Kong.Beijing is attractive because it is the cultural, education and political center of China. There are about 100,000 foreigners in Beijing, which is about half that of Shanghai. In general, students who study in China tend to stay in China for longer and tend be more focused on China, they also tend to speak a higher level of Chinese.

In Beijing the local language is Putonghua, which is standard Chinese, compared to Shanghai where they will speak the Shanghai dialect. While most people speak standard Chinese in both places. In Shanghai the local people may prefer to speak Shanghainese, and they may not have a standard accent.
