Beijing is full of vitality and enthusiasm in July, with flowers blooming and birds singing. In 2023, "You and Me, in Beijing" BFSU Summer Camp will continue to accompany young friends from all over the world to learn Chinese, experience Beijing, and enjoy a fantastic journey of language and culture. Participants will bring joy and laughter to the summer campus of BFSU and leave with fond memories of Beijing!

As always, "You and Me, in Beijing" BFSU Summer Camp 2023 has positioned itself as an international platform for cultural exchange. It aims to combine education with entertainment and allows participants to get close to China and talk with the world. Besides learning Chinese language, participants get to appreciate traditional-and-modern Beijing, taste traditional Chinese cuisine, experience Chinese culture and art, and chat about dreams with friends from all over the world in Chinese through interactive programs like Meet-and-greet, Culture Corner, Cultural Tour, Chinese Family Visit, etc..
