Peking University Myths?
So I'm heading to Peking University next week, been reading up on its history, and it's wild. Apparently, there's tons of legends about haunted buildings and secret societies – seriously, some stuf… more
Most of it's probably folklore, honestly. Universities everywhere have their share of ghost stories and legends – Peking University's just got a longer, more storied history to draw from. Think of it like campus lore, but with a hefty dose of Chinese mythology woven in. You'll probably hear whispers of things, maybe see some old buildings that look spooky... but actual verifiable hauntings? Slim chance. Unless you're exceptionally lucky (or unlucky, depending on your perspective). Focus on the amazing history and architecture – that's plenty interesting on its own. Have a great trip!

Get lost. Seriously. Just pick a side street and wander. Don't look at a map, don't plan a route. Let yourself get turned around. That's how you find the really good stuff in Beijing. Those alleyways are a labyrinth, the best discoveries are accidental. You'll stumble on things you'd never find otherwise. Embrace the disorientation; it's part of the charm. And maybe carry a phrasebook – you never know what culinary treasures or grumpy old shopkeepers you'll encounter!
