\"\"In the east of China lies Beijing, the largest and\u00a0one of the oldest capital cities in the world. Strategically positioned as the Emperor’s home over eight centuries ago, the enchantingly historical but thoroughly modern city of Beijing invites you to discover all of its treasures.<\/p>\n

Why not come on an exciting language-learning adventure with us? We can help you unearth China’s fascinating language, its unique culture, and its excellent gastronomy – the best way to understand authentic China is to immerse yourself in Mandarin in this magnificent metropolis!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With so many things to see and do, let our Chinese language school in Beijing<\/a> be your guide with their specially crafted activity programme.<\/p>\n

Since the number eight 🎱 is considered very lucky in China, and to give you an idea of what’s available in this mega-city, we’ve compiled a list of eight<\/strong> things to see and do in Beijing. What’s more, all<\/em> the below feature on our Chinese language school’s cultural programme, so you’ll be able to experience them all!<\/p>\n

1) The Great Wall of China 🧱<\/h3>\n

While this might be an obvious thing to do during your stay in Beijing, our school will guarantee you a visit to the Great Wall like no other.<\/p>\n

You will travel in groups to this perennial Wonder of the World over one or two days. Our Beijing school knows an older and untouched section of the Great Wall, with awe-inspiring views undisturbed by mass tourism. Hike with your fellow students across several watchtowers that are hundreds of years old and take breath-taking pictures along the way.<\/p>\n

The one-day trip usually takes place on a Saturday, with the total cost varying based on the amount of students in attendance. It is, however, guaranteed to be great value for money and a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Across the two-day weekend trip, you will stay in a traditional farmhouse, have a BBQ together, explore another section of the wall, and visit the Ming Dynasty Tombs on the way back.<\/p>\n
