Peking University's Hidden History?
I'm heading to Peking University next month, and I've been reading up on its history – it's wild! Apparently, there are tons of stories about the campus, rumors of secret societies, hidden tunnels.… more
Wow, Peking University sounds amazing! I haven't personally experienced anything supernatural there, but I did hear a story from an older professor – apparently, there's a specific section of the library, kinda tucked away, that's said to have been used by some pretty influential figures during the Cultural Revolution. They whisper about coded messages hidden within old books, stuff like that. It's all very hush-hush, of course. No real proof, but the atmosphere in that area...it's definitely different. Definitely worth checking out if you can find it. You'll probably just find some dusty old texts though, lol. Have a great trip! Let us know what you discover!
Navigating PEK

Download the PEK airport app beforehand. It has a pretty decent map and shows real-time train schedules. Follow the signs for the Airport Express – they're usually pretty clear, even if you don't read Chinese. And hey, if all else fails, just find someone who looks like they work there and point at your train ticket; most airport staff speak at least a little English. You'll be fine. It's a big airport, sure, but it's designed to get people through it. Just stay calm and focused.
