Before you go to China and Zhengdind, you should read this:

i have read these and have also spoke to people that i know that have been they all seem confident on the reliability of the place the people that write reviews on trip advisor usually have nothing nice to say, i have bought my plane tickets so there is no going back now just got to bite the bullet and hopefully it will; turn out well

Thankfully I was warned about the agencies and managed to book directly with the centre

Hi the thunder tt...I have trained at zhengding training centre on 3 separate ocassions...the training is 5 to 7 hours a day and is intense but you can control how intense it is yourself as it is dependant on fitness

I would make sure that you have a good level of fitness and they also have a very nice gym there that you can use whenever you want. They will see what level you play at and then put u in a squad they haveall different kinds of players turning up there so it doesnt matter what level u play at. They will fit u in the right squad and then if u ever feel tht u need to go up or down a squad or u would like matches then just ask the coach and they will arrange it for u. From memory u will start training at 8am ish and after lunch a lot of the players have a nap which I would recomend and then second training at about 2pm then dinner and the third sessio is optional if u want to do service receive practice most of the tym

Btw where in england do u play I used to play in bristol

Hi I have been to beijing and I have heared that life at the training centre is a bit expensive and the food is crap. However life in being is really cheap. The food is great. Check out several restaurants, I managed to have a full meal (being duck, meat and rice etc) incl beer for 70rmb (8€) most of it was beer.
1 tip don't eat the green beans!!! They were so hot I almost died. It toke 2 big beers to cool down. The Chinese on the table next to me also almost died of laughing at me. 1 hour later in the street I had to drink another cool beer because I was on fire again after a burp. So don't eat the green beans! Ans have lots of fun.
