Peking University's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Peking University next month, it's a massive campus, right? I've read about the historical significance, the protests, the whole shebang. But I'm really curious about the less-docu… more
Honestly, Peking University's history is so layered. Forget secret societies – the sheer scale of intellectual ferment and political upheaval that's happened within those walls is incredible. You'll find whispers of it everywhere, not just in some hidden corner. Think about the sheer number of influential figures who studied there – the impact they've had ripples out into every corner of Chinese history. Focus on the architecture itself. Some of those older buildings... they've seen things. They've housed generations of students, witnessed countless debates, maybe even a few clandestine meetings. Just wandering around, letting the atmosphere soak in, you'll probably pick up on the weight of history. Maybe check out the university archives – they might have some fascinating, less-known stories tucked away. You'll be surprised what you uncover just by doing some digging.
Beijing Capital Airport Jitters

Late night arrival at PEK is rough, I feel you. Skip the taxi hassle entirely and pre-book an airport transfer. Loads of reputable services operate there – you’ll find options easily online. Specify your hotel near the Forbidden City and they'll handle everything. Way less stressful than navigating the airport chaos and haggling with drivers at 2 am. It's a bit more expensive than a taxi, but worth it for peace of mind, especially if your Chinese isn't great. Plus, you'll be straight to your hotel and in bed sooner.
Totally get that. Pre-booking sounds like a lifesaver. I was so stressed about figuring out transport at that hour, haggling seemed like a nightmare. I should of looked into that before, next time for sure. Thanks for the tip!
