Harbin is also famous for its winter ice festival.

Coursework

Students studying at Heilongjiang will take four intensive Chinese language courses at the appropriate level (including beginning). One of these will be a course on reading Chinese.  Students will also take a contemporary Chinese culture course. Successful completion of all five courses will equate to four Hendrix course credits. 

Language of Instruction

The language courses are taught in Chinese. The culture course is taught in English.
