As is depicted in the graph, the number of international students in China in the past four years rose from 260 thousand in 2010 to more than 350 thousand in 2013 with an annual increasing by about ten percent.

With great impact in the world, China is attracting more and more overseas students. What"s more, China has a civilization of 5,000 years, which greatly appeals to those who want to learn Chinese unique cultures.
