What does study tour mean?
"Study tour" is a new term in recent years and a new thing. It is neither a pure tour nor a pure study abroad. Its content runs through language learning and sightseeing, between them, and at the same time, it combines the contents of learning and tourism.

It is an important manifestation that modern people pay more and more attention to spiritual life, and it is also a new way of education. On the premise of quality education in the future, the development space will be more and more broad. "Reading thousands of books is better than taking Wan Li Road" is a profound embodiment of study tour.

Study tour is the most traditional way of learning and education in the civilizations of all countries and nationalities in the world. The story of "Five scholars from the East congratulate the birth of Jesus Christ" recorded in the Bible, and the trip of Italian traveler Kyle L. Poirot in China all reveal the rich information contained in the ancient communication between the East and the West.

Since ancient times, people in China have attached great importance to the important role of study tour in the formation of personality and knowledge. Confucius led his disciples to travel around the world to increase their knowledge, cultivate their quality and broaden their horizons. "Read thousands of books, Take Wan Li Road" is a famous old education motto in China.

In the sense of modern education, study tour is an international cross-cultural experiential education model that comes into being and matures with the development trend of world peace and globalization in the 20th century. Colleges and social institutions offer study tours for young people at home and abroad, actively encourage and correctly guide young students to visit and immerse themselves in different cultural environments, learn and understand non-native or non-native cultural and historical traditions through personal experience, and at the same time strengthen the improvement of foreign language level.
