Yuxi Normal University is home to 8,000 Chinese university students who come from both the largest of China's mega-cities to some of the most remote mountain villages on the planet.

YNU began opening its doors to International Students 20 years ago as an attempt to not only develop an elite Chinese language program, but to also give their Chinese students an opportunity to meet and interact with other students and professionals from around the world.

What began as a single student studying from their campus apartment with a private tutor has now developed into one of China's top study abroad programs.

YNU's International Culture Exchange Center has played host to students from every corner of the globe and has developed ongoing relationships with schools in both Asia, Europe and the USA.

YNU takes great pride in the quality of its campus, teachers and students. The world is growing to recognize our university as one of the best places to study abroad in China.

Yuxi enjoys some of the best weather in all of China! Located in beautiful Southwest China, YNU offers our students beautiful vistas wherever they go; whether it be from the balcony of their private on campus apartment or on one of the many mountain peaks surrounding the city.
