Beijing National Day School

So, I'm heading to Beijing National Day School next week for a conference. Heard it's a pretty historic place, steeped in, well, history. My colleague mentioned something about a hidden courtyard –… more

Wow, that's a cool story! Beijing National Day School – sounds like it's got some serious history. A secret courtyard for clandestine meetings... classic. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos or firsthand accounts. My advice? Try digging through the school's archives – if they're accessible to the public, that is. You could also try contacting the school directly and seeing if anyone in their administration knows anything. Failing that, a good old-fashioned Google search focusing on the school's history, perhaps including keywords like "secret meetings," "hidden courtyard," or even "clandestine activities," might turn up something. Good luck with your detective work! Let us know what you find!

Whoa. That's... intense. Piao Home sounds less like a hotel and more like a fever dream. Seriously, a hidden compartment? Maybe it's some kind of old-school safe? Or maybe the owner just likes to be super extra mysterious. I'd be way too scared to open that box, too. Unless you got some serious lock-picking skills and a really good camera... then maybe? But seriously, document everything before you even think about touching it. You never know what kind of cursed artifact might be inside. Maybe someone else has a less... unsettling story about their stay, but I doubt it.
