Cities and Destinations
Of Your Choice

We can arrange the program in any Chinese city of your choice to dive deep into China’s cultural, societal and business landscape.

Beijing
China’s political, economic & cultural center
Beijing is a 3,000-year-old city that has been the capital of China for most of the past 600 years. In recent decades, it has gained international importance as a political and economic hub, while retaining a rich historical and cultural heritage.
Shanghai
China’s financial center
Shanghai plays an important part in China as its commercial and financial capital. It has long been famous for its cultural diversity and modernization since the beginning of the last century. Many international financial institutions also choose here to build their China headquarters.
Hangzhou
China’s emerging entrepreneurial hub
Nicknamed a “Paradise on Earth” as one of the most beautiful cities in China, Hangzhou is now one of the most entrepreneurial cities in China, especially in e-commerce and e-payments, thanks in large part to Alibaba, the e-commerce giant, which has its headquarters in the city.
Shenzhen
City of innovation in China
Shenzhen, the city adjoining Hong Kong, has been the fastest-growing city in China over the past three decades, raising its population to 13 million from just 30,000. As a young, vibrant city, Shenzhen is famous not only for its traditional manufacturing stance, but also its technological innovation.

Company Visits

As a core element of our China Immersion program, we arrange visits to industry-leading companies, which aim to provide you with a close-up view of China’s business landscape. Visits can be customized to meet your academic needs and your students’ interests.

Some of our close industry partners include the following companies. Specific companies to visit will be arranged based on discussion on a case-by-case basis.

Alumni Networking Events

Our alumni network is recognized as one of the most exclusive in China. More than half of our 23,000+ alumni are at the CEO or Chairman level and, collectively, lead one fifth of China’s leading brands. They work across different industries, such as financial services and manufacturing, as well as the high-tech, internet and tertiary sectors.

You will be introduced to, and immersed within, a network of some of China’s successful private entrepreneurs, leaders of China’s largest state-owned enterprises and top regional executives at multinational corporations.

What I was very impressed with was the depth of the knowledge of the speakers at CKGSB. What surprised me is that people were very honest and open about the issues facing China, and the perspective that they had. That is valuable certainly for almost any business student who is thinking doing business in China.”
