In mid-March, a group of students and faculty from the MBA program at the University of Hong Kong embarked on a journey of cultural exploration through TBC’s ChinaContact program, starting with a tour to TBC. They visited various companies in Beijing, immersing themselves in the local work atmosphere and corporate culture. Along the way, they experienced the majestic beauty of ancient palaces at Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, feeling the profound history of China. They also visited the Great Wall, experiencing the magnificent grandeur brought forth by this historical monument.
In addition, they visited the Beijing Fenglei Peking Opera Troupe, which boasts a history of over 60 years. There, not only did they enjoy a splendid Peking opera performance, but they also tried their hand at painting Peking opera facial masks, deeply appreciating the unique charm of this traditional Chinese art form.
It’s not every day we get to make history! This week, The Beijing Center proudly welcomed—for the first time ever—27 curious and enthusiastic students from the University of Lima, along with Internationalization Coordinator Claudia Valencia and David Barriga, our partner from AsiaB Consulting, for an unforgettable Beijing adventure.
This semester, The Beijing Center for Chinese Studies (TBC) has welcomed exchange students from AJCU schools to participate in the YES (Young Envoys Scholarship) program. With anticipation and curiosity, the exchange students have set foot on this unfamiliar land for the first time, starting their new chapter of study abroad.
