History buffs and culture lovers, gather round! The first-ever World Conference of Classics kicked off in Beijing this week, bridging ancient wisdom and modern diplomacy. Co-hosted by China and Greece, this three-day event (Nov. 6-8) is a *collab* for the ages—think Plato meets Confucius vibes.
The star of the show? Beijing’s picturesque Yanqi Lake resort, nestled at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains. Imagine brainstorming global cultural strategies while surrounded by crystal-clear waters and misty green peaks —it’s basically the *Mount Olympus of diplomacy*.

Why should you care? Whether you’re a student decoding ancient texts or a traveler planning your next adventure, this event reminds us that cultural bridges are still being built—one classical reference at a time.
