Пекин — столица Китая, политический, культурный и образовательный центр страны. Город знаменит историческими достопримечательностями (Запретный город, Великая Китайская стена, Храм Неба), топовыми университетами (Пекинский университет, Цинхуа) и огромным количеством возможностей для иностранных студентов. Здесь высокий уровень безопасности, отличный общественный транспорт (метро, высокоскоростные поезда), множество кампусов с общежитиями и международной атмосферой. Зимой холодно и сухо, летом жарко и влажно, но воздух улучшается благодаря усилиям по экологии. Идеален для тех, кто хочет сочетать учёбу с историей и престижными дипломами.
