Beijing; the Past and the Present, China’s ancient rulers displayed their power and lordship through the construction of magnificent palaces, imperial residences and scores of temples.
Today, Beijing is home to a population of approximately 18 million, as well as being the country’s political and cultural centre. The Great Wall of China lies a mere 60 km away from the city.
The city’s clear planning and the efficient transport system have made Beijing very accessible and easy to experience, while at the same time the city retains the majesty and splendour of places such as the Forbidden City.
Many Beijingians speak Mandarin Chinese and are traditionally very open and willing to communicate. China’s top universities are found mostly in the northwest of the city centre.
Our school, established partly in Chinese style, lies right within the Imperial Ancestral Temple, in the Wen Hua Gong building.
This area is surrounded by the concealed yet imposing beauty of the Forbidden City, with trees, hundreds of years old and garden landscaping in Chinese style.
Also only a few minutes walk away lies Tiananmen Square, here you will find the subway station that will take you to and from the hotel.
The Wangfujing, Beijing’s best known and biggest shopping street, is also within a 10 minute walk.
