◆Hidden Gem
A documented low-cost option drawn from two separate dated notices: the 2025 admissions notice gives language and bachelor's programme tuition at CNY 6,800 per academic year, and the Spring Semester 2026 brochure gives CNY 3,400 for the one-semester course and accommodation from CNY 400 per semester, with a 30-student intake that requires no prior Chinese. No named international-student award or award terms were verified in the accessible admissions notices; that evidence gap does not establish that no awards exist.

Costs and scholarship coverage
Application fees are separate from tuition and everyday expenses. Use the same degree, program and accommodation type when comparing universities.
Fee source notes: No application fee is published by Wenshan University. The Admission Brochure for International Students - Spring Semester 2026 sets out its own fee section listing only tuition at CNY 3,400 per semester, accommodation at CNY 400 per semester, a residence permit fee of CNY 400 per half-year, a health check-up fee of approximately CNY 300 per time and an insurance premium of approximately CNY 300 per half-year, under a heading that says other related fees are subject to actual costs. It states no application, registration or assessment charge, and the application method it gives is simply to send materials by email to wenshanuniversity@163.com. The earlier Wenshan University Admissions for International Students 2025 notice likewise lists only tuition at CNY 6,800 per person per academic year and accommodation at CNY 800 per person per academic year and requires students to buy the Comprehensive Insurance Plan on arrival, with no application-stage fee. The Chinese-language sections of wsu.edu.cn, including the fee, asset and charging disclosure page, publish no international fee schedule at all. Because no page states a charge and none states that applying is free, this is recorded as unknown rather than confirmed-free, in line with the rule that a page omitting a fee must never be read as a waiver.
