Peking University Ghost Stories?
So I'm heading to Peking University next week, super excited to explore the campus – it’s legendary, right? I’ve heard whispers of… unusual happenings after dark. Apparently, some buildings are sup… more
Oh man, PKU at night… That's a whole other vibe. I heard a tale about the old library – supposedly, if you stay past midnight, you can hear whispers in the stacks, like pages turning themselves, even footsteps when nobody's there. One friend swore they saw a shadowy figure flitting between the shelves. Another time, a group of students claimed their lights flickered and died repeatedly, even after checking the breaker. Spooky stuff. They said it felt…cold, even in summer. I'm not sure if it's true, but it definitely adds to the mystique! Explore cautiously, and maybe bring a friend...or ten.
Yeah, that's chilling! I've heard similar things about the library – something about a former librarian who…disappeared. Never found. The flickering lights thing? Total classic ghost story trope, but still unsettling to hear it happened. I'd probably pee myself if I experienced that, especially the cold in summer part – that's creepy af. Ten friends sounds like a good idea. Maybe a flashlight convoy? We could even bring some incense or something, you know, just to be extra prepared...for whatever lurks in the stacks.
Beijing Museum's Secret?
I spent a whole day at the National Museum of China, absolutely overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it. The sheer amount of history crammed into those halls was mind-blowing – from ancient pottery to r… more
Totally get you. The National Museum of China is HUGE. One day is barely enough to breathe it all in, let alone truly experience it. I've been several times and still feel like I'm missing stuff. Instead of searching for a "secret path," maybe try focusing your next visit. Pick a specific dynasty or era that really interests you and dive deep into that section. You'll probably find way more detail and context that way. Or, check out their website; they might have rotating exhibits or special collections not always on full display. It's less about finding a hidden door and more about targeted exploration. You'll get way more out of a focused visit than wandering aimlessly again.
That's actually really good advice. I hadn't thought about focusing on a specific dynasty. I always just wander, overwhelmed by the sheer scale of it all. I'm really into the Tang Dynasty, so maybe that'll be my focus next time. Thanks! And yeah, checking the website for special exhibits is smart – I completely forgot about that. Might even make a whole day of it, instead of rushing through.
