The stories selected here come from well-known tales, poems, or stories. The Chinese vocabulary presented in this section is richer and more specific than in the intermediate reading section. The advanced student is here encouraged to grow less dependent on pinyin or translation in order to read Chinese without support. Both texts and vocabulary guides are part of the LittleNex Chinese learning program.

Peach Blossom Shangri-la is written with traditional characters with NO pinyin transcription. However, the English translation is provided to aid with comprehension.
