QUESTION:

What was Beijing University (Chinese: "Bei Da"), China's most famous liberal arts college, before it became a university?

a) A garden of the Summer Palace
b) A royal fishing hole
c) Library of the Winter Palace
d) Home of kung fu legend Wang Fei Hong

ANSWERS:
a) You have marvelous instincts! Correct. Check out Bei Da's garden-like architecture and you will see why this peaceful place is perfect for study. Even though it was partly destroyed by the European allied foreign forces, the Beijing University was rebuilt. The campus even has a cool man-made lake, not to mention several small museums and many artistic monuments to great scholars of the past. You haven't seen all of the Summer Palace if you haven't visited the Beijing University.

b) Careful with your rod, this is no fishing hole! Guess again.

c) It would be a most unpleasant Winter Palace, especially before adequate heating. (Even the Emperor couldn't get the heat turned on before Nov. 15th)

d) Someone must have giving you a roundhouse up-side the head. Try again.
