Getting off campus is easy. Choosing what to do, see, or eat is the difficult part. Beijing, the political capitol of China, is also the cultural capitol. With so many different sites ranging from Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, or the Summer Palace, to the 798 Art District, Olympic Park and the countless temples and museums, you never have to worry about running out of things to do.
Beijing is also a growing international metropolis. You will witness first hand the juxtaposition of the ancient and traditional with the modern and new. You can see it all, from seeing older Chinese people practicing taichi in the morning to moshing at a Chinese punk concert at night. What are you waiting for?
