Nihao, Sanya!': Inside Hainan's Cultural and Language Camp — and How to Sign Up

This summer, the cultural and language camp "Nihao, Sanya" in Sanya brought together kids from Russia — and that summer became for them not just a vacation, but a small adventure. Want to know how last season's camp went? Details and photos are available here!

We are the team at seaviewhainan.com — your reliable guide to education on Hainan Island. We'll help make the dream of studying and vacationing on a tropical island a reality.

Nihao, Sanya!

This is more than just a camp. It's a full cultural and educational program: classes, accommodation, activities, and 24/7 support from a coordinator. It's also a chance to combine a Hainan vacation with learning Chinese: real conversation, full immersion, and genuine "tropical" experiences.

The program is provided by one of the leading educational institutions: 20 academic hours of Chinese language. Levels range from beginner to HSK4. Vocabulary, grammar, speaking practice, dialogues, everyday situations. Teachers are experienced professionals. 

A certificate is awarded upon completion. Program languages: Chinese and English.

Summer in Hainan: we tell and show

— Where do participants stay?

— In a hotel, double occupancy. The classroom building is a 10–15 minute walk away. Free Wi-Fi, cafes, and shops. Breakfast at the hotel is a buffet with options for every taste. Lunch and dinner are at cafes and on campus.

— What is there to do outside of class?

— Everything is designed so that participants not only study but also make new friends — including Chinese students. Participants will enjoy fascinating workshops on calligraphy, tea ceremony, and traditional bamboo pole dancing. There's also a visit to the college's interactive exhibition hall with real airplanes, simulators, and an introduction to drones.

In addition to classes and workshops, the program includes plenty of activities. We'll visit "Deer Turned Its Head" Park with its incredible views of the city and sea bays, "Binglanggu" with the history of the local Li and Miao peoples, and we'll go shopping at Joy City. 

There will be a pool, beach, creative activities, and interaction with locals. A unique opportunity to apply everything learned in the classroom.

— What age is the camp suitable for?

— Children from 12 to 16 years old. Chinese level — from beginner to advanced. The main thing is the desire to learn and apply new knowledge. On individual request, we can tailor a program for your group, including for adults interested in Chinese culture and Hainan Island in particular.

The main advantage — you don't have to organize anything yourself. Accommodation, classes, cultural events, activities, entrance tickets, program transfers, insurance — everything is already included. The program takes place at the Sanya Aviation and Tourism College, a leading vocational institution in the "High-Class College with Profile Groups" category, part of HNA Aviation Group (Fangda Group).

Interested? Then all that's left is to choose a season — the camp runs in winter, spring, and summer.

In winter — mild sun and comfortable temperatures. Ideal for those who don't like the heat. 

One session is planned for January 9–16, 2027.

In spring — warm sea, fewer tourists, fresh greenery and blooming trees.

In summer — tropical heat during the day, but pleasant coolness comes in the evening.

Each session offers different and unforgettable experiences.

Why last season's participants still remember this summer

We saw how participants' eyes lit up last season. Someone tried real Chinese food for the first time. Someone learned to say "nihao" and "xiexie." Someone ordered food, made purchases, and found friends on their own — and came home a little different: more confident, curious, and driven.

We at seaviewhainan.com don't just publish information. We stay in touch with you, advise on which program to choose, and help with questions. Our goal is to give you or your child the opportunity to fulfill the dream of studying and vacationing on a tropical island. Without unnecessary hassle or worry.
