The national capital and the center of Chinese education, politics and culture, Beijing packs Peking University, Tsinghua and dozens of other universities into the Haidian campus belt alone. For international students it offers the widest choice of programs and scholarships in China, the largest foreign-student community, and unmatched access to embassies, international organizations, media and multinationals. Four thousand years of history — from the Forbidden City to the Great Wall — sit alongside a first-tier modern city.
