Tofu! Yes....tofu, while a common food to eat elsewhere in the world, China is home to some of the tastiest and most succulent tofu.
Hong Chang. If you have the opportunity to visit Heilongjiang, try this Post Russian Revolution gem of art, a pork sausage with a history!
If you are fortunate to be in China during the summer try a delicious Yang Mei (Chinese Bayberry), best for those with a palate for the tart.

Most countries will require that you obtain a student visa prior to your departure for that country.
A student visa is a document issued by the government of the host country, giving you permission to live and study there. In most cases, when you apply for this visa, you must submit your official U.S. Passport so that the appropriate agency can place an official stamp/sticker in it.
Visa requirements vary greatly from country-to-country. The fees and regulations will also vary.
