Beijing is the second largest city in China and is the nation’s political and cultural center. No other city has been so important throughout history to a nation than Beijing has been to China. Even today rapid expansion and modernization are focused on Beijing to make it an impressive example of China in the new millenium hosting, for example, the Olympic games in 2008. Beijing is a sprawling city and to live away from the metropolis in an outlying district has many benefits. Today Beijing has become the most important transportation hub in China so not only will it be easy to visit Beijing but you will also be ideally situated to take trips to any area that particularly interests you. About an hour or so away is the Great Wall of China. Although it isn’t visible from space as it is sometimes claimed, The Great Wall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a staggering achievement in engineering and construction.


A visit into Beijing must include a tour of the Forbidden City. Home of the Imperial Court of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Forbidden City is remarkably well preserved. Within it is the Temple of Heaven, considered the symbol of Beijing, a gorgeous and important site surrounded by parklands. While there is no loss of places to visit, living in the Beijing region will also let you experience Chinese culture and festivals. If you are lucky, you will visit during Chinese New Year, two weeks where everyone wears new clothes, decorates their homes and exhanges little red pouches of money. You will probably see one of the masked Lion dancers performing. Another popular festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a tradition sing the Tang Dynasty. This day people make cakes, pastries and colourful lanterns and gather to watch the moon. Beyond special occasions like these, living in the home of your teacher will let you experience the everyday life of the bustling Beijing area while you learn the intricacies to the Chinese language.
