Forbidden City and the Central Axis: This is where many students first feel the scale of Chinese history. The Forbidden City is not only a tourist site; it helps explain urban order, imperial culture, architecture, ritual, color, and space.

Great Wall weekends: The Great Wall makes Beijing feel different from most global capitals. A normal weekend can become a mountain walk through world heritage, village food, and long views over northern China.

Summer Palace and Haidian campuses: Haidian combines elite campuses, old royal gardens, language schools, bookstores, cafes, and student restaurants. It is one of the best places in China to feel daily academic life.

Hutongs, food, and everyday Beijing: Hutongs show a softer Beijing: breakfast stalls, bicycles, small shops, courtyards, local conversations, and neighborhood life. They help students see the city beyond landmarks.

798, Wudaokou, and youth culture: Modern Beijing is not only government and history. Art districts, student neighborhoods, music venues, startup spaces, and international restaurants give students a young, social side of the city.
