The first evening of the Summer School we ran along Nan Lou Gu Xiang in the heavy rain to a restaurant with a metal roof…. and tried our chopstick skills. Here’s the carnage!
About Beijing
Temples
Confucius Temple was built to honour Confucius, one of China’s greatest philosophers, and educationalist. There is a courtyard of 198 stone tablets/steles carved with the names of approx 51,000 scholars who passed the imperial exam during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties.
I decided to apply to the Beijing Summer School to give myself a challenge, and it was definitely hard work! Despite the heat and the culture shock, I’m glad I did it because I saw and experienced so much in the three weeks that I was there and met some lovely people, including our three assistants. I felt that we were well looked after but also given the freedom to explore Beijing in our own ways.
