Every year, TFF, along with its travel consultants in China and the U.S., designs reasonably priced tours especially for our teachers.

Because many of our volunteers are "old China hands", we are able to make good use of their expertise and contacts in planning tours. All of the companies we use in China are licensed, bonded and approved by the government.

We expect to offer a tour before the July teaching session called China Highlights that explores China's most famous attractions. It includes visiting Shanghai, Beijing and Xi’an—home of the Terra Cotta Warriors--
and The Great Wall. By visiting these important places and experiencing Chinese culture first-hand, our teachers gain an understanding that is quite helpful in the classroom. Also, teachers who take this tour have
an opportunity to get to know one another and share teaching ideas before classes begin. Depending on teacher interest, we may add an additional tour after the summer teaching session.

To the extent possible an experienced TFF teacher will accompany each tour, with professional Chinese tour guides in each location.

All TFF tours are open not only to our 2013 teachers but also to their family and friends and to TFF teachers from past years.
