About the School
Overlooking the South China Sea's Xiaojing Bay, BASIS International School Park Lane Harbour is nestled in the hills of a master-planned beach community in the municipality of Huizhou.

The school offers teachers nearby housing with studio, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom apartments to meet each teacher's family needs.

BASIS International School Park Lane Harbour is located in a beachside, planned community along the coast of Xiaojing Bay just north of Shenzhen and south of the town of Huizhou--a modern town with a white-sand beach that offers numerous trails for walking, hiking and cycling. BASIS International School Park Lane Harbour is a sprawling, green campus with numerous athletic facilities in and out doors. The community is a growing enclave with a small grocery market and several restaurants near the coastline within walking distance to the school.
Restaurants near the school include: Tai Hing for Hong Kong food, Mu Wu Barbecue, Ju's Fusion Restaurant, Yoshidoya for Japanese fast food, Pezzo for Italian cuisine, Honeymoon Desert, Pacific Coffee, and a bakery. There are various agencies for apartment rentals, bicycle shop, watersport rentals, and a Sisyphe book store where you can find English books. High Street is still expanding and it is very easy to get around the area.
Huizhou is relatively peaceful and calm compared to other big cities and metropolis in China. There are a couple of places for people who especially prefer nature to visit in Huizhou, including: West Lake, Huizhou Xunliao Bay, Honghua Lake Water Park and Daya Bay. It is a little over an hour's drive to Shenzhen and the Hong Kong border from BASIS International School Park Lane Harbour.
