Description: Yuxi Normal University is home to 8,000 Chinese university students who come from both the largest of China's mega-cities to some of the most remote mountain villages on the planet.

YNU began opening its doors to International Students 20 years ago as an attempt to not only develop an elite Chinese language program, but to also give their Chinese students an opportunity to meet and interact with other students and professionals from around the world.

What began as a single student studying from their campus apartment with a private tutor has now developed into one of China's top study abroad programs.

YNU's International Culture Exchange Center has played host to students from every corner of the globe and has developed ongoing relationships with schools in both Asia, Europe and the USA.

YNU takes great pride in the quality of its campus, teachers and students. The world is growing to recognize our university as one of the best places to study abroad in China. It is our hope that one day soon, you will too!

Highlights: Yuxi is quiet city located in China's beautiful Yunnan province. Yunnan is home to 2/3rds of China's minority peoples and some of the most beautiful scenery to be found anywhere on earth!

One hour south of the provincial capital of Kunming, Yuxi sits in the heart of Yunnan and as a result, our students have the luxury of exploring and experiencing a part of China most foreigners will never see.

Although Yuxi is much smaller than its neighbor, Kunming, it is still close enough to share the conveniences of a mega city without the typical annoyances that typically accompany such a large city. Within Yuxi's quiet city limits, you can still find such conveniences as KFC, McDonald's and even a Wal-Mart! In fact, Yuxi is the first city its size in all of China to host a Wal-Mart.

Yuxi is truly an exceptional city. You will be challenged to find another place like it anywhere in China. An absolutely beautiful city, nestled in the heart of China's most geographically and ethnically diverse province. In Yuxi, you have the best of both worlds. We welcome you to join our students as they explore the natural beauty of ancient Yunnan from the comfort of one of the province's most modern cities.

Yuxi Normal University's Mission Statement: We have made it our goal to provide the best Chinese education possible for anyone who studies with us here in the land of Eternal Spring. We understand that one basic curriculum will not meet the needs of every student. Thus, our school has developed several study options for different students. We also tailor-make programs that will suit the student and their learning needs.
