I have stayed in Beijing, the capital of China, for one month last year for an exchange program. The Olympic Game was held after I left, so I can enjoy my trip without jamming with the crowd.

My accommodation was in Tsinghua University, as I was having an exchange program there. The University is very nice as the views there are very beautiful. Many celebrities of China have studied there. So if you are going to Beijing, don’t forget to visit this University!

Beijing is quite hot in summer, but travelers love this kind of weather, right? Beijing snows in winter, hence it is more suitable to visit Beijing in summer, than in winter, personally I think. When I was there, I went everywhere with friends to find out the beauty of Beijing.

There are many interesting places to go in Beijing. For history lovers, you must go to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City! They are so marvelous and grand! But of course China does not only have interesting history.

If you are a shopaholic, shopping malls are everywhere in Beijing, and there are many not costly traditional Chinese souvenirs especially on ‘Wangfujing Street’, you can buy many things with a very cheap price!

If you like special snacks, there are a lot of snack stalls in ‘Wangfujing’, you can enjoy snacks like grilled steak there, and if you dare to try, fried scorpion is my best recommendation! It is crispy and tasty!

If you are an artistic person, you must go to ‘798 Artwork Zone’! There are many masterpieces of different styles there. You can spend more than 2-3 days there. It is a very nice place to go and there are many bars nearby too!

Beijing is far more interesting than what I can record down here. You should try to explore the interesting things there by yourself. You will have great fun there without doubt! So the next stop is - Beijing!
