Studying in Ya'an

Ya'an is a smaller city in Sichuan province, south-west China, and our directory lists one university here. It sits near the mountains and is known for its tea, humid climate and relaxed pace. Living costs are low and the setting is greener and quieter than the big Sichuan cities. Students who prefer a calm environment close to Chengdu's connections may find it a good fit.

Living costs

Ya'an is inexpensive. University dormitories are low-cost, private housing is cheap, and canteen meals, buses and phone plans are all modestly priced. Day-to-day spending is easy to keep low. All figures are indicative only and vary by campus, housing type and lifestyle, so confirm current prices on arrival before planning a budget.

Getting around

Local transport is by bus, shared bike and taxi, with low fares. Chengdu and its high-speed rail and airport links are reachable by road or rail within a few hours, which is useful for longer journeys. Most daily travel within the city is short and inexpensive.

Climate

Ya'an is known for frequent rain and high humidity, with mild winters and warm, wet summers. Overcast days are common. Pack waterproof clothing and comfortable shoes, plus layers for the cooler months and light clothes for summer.

Food

Sichuan cuisine is the local standard, though Ya'an's version is often less intensely spicy than in the big cities. Noodles, dumplings, hotpot and tea-house snacks are common, and campus canteens serve cheap daily meals. Students can also find milder options nearby.

Practical tips

Complete residence registration shortly after arrival. Get a SIM card and bank account so you can use mobile payment. Always carry rain gear, given the local climate. Learn basic Mandarin and save campus and emergency contacts.
