Based on the verbal-guise test, in this article we study ninety-six Chinese Spanish students' linguistic attitudes and perception towards four linguistic varieties of Spanish: the North Peninsular, the Mexican, the Colombian and the Argentine. According to the results obtained, we found that, due to the vitality of the North Peninsular Spanish, the students show great preference for this variety, which reflects in the fact that most of them evaluate North Peninsular Spanish more positively than the other variations, also they can identify more correctly this variation, and they have the tendency to learn its accent.
