Day 15 was the final day of the International Management 08 class in China. After numerous check-ins and check-outs in various cities and hotels we packed our bags for the last time and left the splendid Prime Hotel.<\/p>\n

Our first stop of the day was the Tiananmen Square. It is the largest city square in the world with 440\u2019000 m2. It is named after the Tiananmen Gate which translated means Gate of Heaven\u2019s Pacification. The gate separates the square from the Forbidden City in the north. On the southern side, the square borders to the Qianmen gate. After we crossed the Tiananmen Square we entered the Forbidden City at the south gate, walking underneath the oversized, 1.5 tonnes heavy portrait of Mao Zedong. The Forbidden City was China\u2019s imperial palace from the Ming dynasty until the end of the Qing dynasty. It comprises 980 buildings and covers an impressive area of 720\u2019000 m2.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next stop of the day brought us to Tian Tan, the temple of heaven. The temple complex was built during the same time as the Forbidden City and was used by the reigning monarch to pray to heaven for good harvests.
\nSince the temperatures in Beijing were rather low, the students were looking forward to the warm restaurant and a last traditional Chinese lunch.
\nThe afternoon brought another interesting insight into the Chinese culture with a visit of a traditional Chinese tea-house. We learned about the importance of tea and its ceremony.
\nOur last sightseeing stop before dinner was the Hutong area of Beijing. It is known for its traditional buildings and the small narrow streets.
\nThe most famous dish you can get in Beijing is probably the \u201cBeijing Duck\u201d. To round off a successful study trip, we went for a last dinner and enjoyed and exquisite meal and reflected on the past two weeks.<\/p>\n
