Laixi

Located an hour north of the seaside city of Qingdao, Laixi lies nestled in the countryside of Shandong Province. Famous for its seafood, coastal beauty and Martial Arts masters, Shandong Province lies along the northeastern Chinese coastline.

Laixi’s many lakes and beautiful, peaceful Chinese parks provide many scenic locations for students to train. Aside from training at the gym, in warm weather together with the teacher you can take a day at the park or by the lake to do the training. Laixi is a relatively small city by Chinese standards, but has a few big shopping malls, chinese and korean style resturants, McDonalds, a KFC, a few western resturants and a small theme park.

On Saturdays and Sundays, you can catch a bus (about $4US) to either Qingdao or beautiful Yantai for a day of shopping or relaxation at the beach. Qingdao was the host of the 2008 olympic sailing games, and is a popular weekend destination for students.
