That's amazing! Finding that courtyard sounds like a real discovery. Beijing National Day School probably has a longer history than anyone realizes; maybe check the school archives – if they even have online ones, ha! – or even just older staff. They might have stories about forgotten buildings, original plans, or maybe even old photos showing areas that don't exist anymore or have been completely repurposed. There's probably a whole underground world of history waiting to be unearthed. Also, you could try talking to the maintenance crew; they're usually the ones who know the nooks and crannies best. Good luck with your exploration!

As for the bunkers... well, let's just say practice your sand shots a lot before you go. You'll need them. Good luck, you'll need it!
