Because the interest for the 2008 Go to China trip has been lower than in previous years, and the organizers have other commitments, the trip has been cancelled. We are sorry about not responding to emails, as we have been kept quite busy over the start of the year.

Go to China is an annual trip to Beijing, China, for 2 months of go playing, activities, and fun. In 2008, the trip will be arranged for the 5th time. We will spend a lot of extra effort on making the 5th trip better than all of the previous ones.

Go to China is unique, because the basic programme spans a full two months, and it is possible to study go during the whole period. Other similar programmes and go events such as the go congresses only last for two or at most three weeks.

2008 will be a very special year for Go to China, because it is an Olympic Year in Beijing, and a number of other activities will be arranged in the city.

Our organization is very flexible, and by renting apartments and organizing most activities by ourselves, the group dynamics will be more interesting and the arrangements more personal. More general information ->

The costs for participating are quite competitive compared to other similar arrangements. In our basic package, we include accomodation, participation in all go teaching and other go related activities. We will also have people responsible for helping out with making arrangements for activities and trips. Pricing information ->

The 4 trips to date have had a total of almost 150 participants and all of them have met friends from around the world. Each trip has had at least 25 participants. We have recieved a lot of positive feedback in Chinese newspapers, as well as in Go Journals from around the world. More about the trip history ->

Go to China is organized by Michael Yao and Carl Johan Ragnarsson, together with a group of talented teachers and people managing day to day arrangements. More about the organizers->
