Abstract
With the development of globalization, more and more international students are pursuing their studies in China. The adjustment issues faced by these students should be explored in order to ensure the students’ successful transition to the host country. This study aims at exploring the cultural adaptation of international students studying in China and their interests in the Chinese culture.
