Chinese Language Immersion in Beijing
Beijing's temples, parks, and historic sites all sing wonderfully and powerfully of the dream that was Old Cathay, but in the same hallowed space there's a new Beijing taking shape.
Just outside the exquisite walls of Beijing's historic monuments, steel and concrete are steadily replacing silk and carved wood. Beijing is transforming itself every day - reborn as the capital of the most populous(and potentially most powerful) nation on earth.
Beijing is in the midst of remaking itself on a scale that can scarcely be believed, and this rapid modernization against a backdrop of ancient treasures gives Beijing a wild East-West flavor that is exhilarating. It is a city with two faces, both of which are fascinating to the foreign visitor.
With all its celebrated historical attractions, Beijing may well be the capital of China's past, but it is also the vibrant capital of China's future, and it is here that you can see in broad and determined strokes both what China has been and what it will become.
The Forbidden City still stands at the center of Beijing, its golden tiled roofs and vast, glittering white courtyards are truly a wonder to behold. The Summer Palace has survived, too, at the northwest edge of the city, as has the Temple of Heaven to the south, along with dozens of delicate monuments, old temples, and the courtyard houses in little alleyways or "hutongs", that were once the hallmark of ordinary city life.
Our Chinese language immersion allows you plenty of time to discover the culture & city of Beijing.
