Various kinds of free cultural and fun activities are arranged for the students to enhance their Chinese language learning experience during their stay in Beijing. These activities are intended to provide exposure to the students in many ways, i.e. arts and culture, history and geography, philosophy and religion. The activities are also a good way to allow the students to relax and develop social relationships and friendships among themselves, many of these friendships remain long after these programs are completed. These activities include visiting popular historical sites, rich cultural attractions, local gathering spots, various shopping places, hangout night spots, and plenty of food sampling opportunities.
