What does Beijing look like through the eyes of a young international visitor during China's National Day celebrations? Meet Leo, a German student at Tsinghua University and CGTN contributor, who became our guide to the capital’s historic charm and modern energy.
Starting at the Drum Tower—where ancient timekeeping rhythms echo through centuries—Leo weaves through hutongs (traditional alleyways) buzzing with steaming dumpling stalls and residents chatting over tea. \"It's like time travel with Wi-Fi,\" he jokes, capturing Beijing’s seamless blend of old and new.
His journey ends at Shichahai Park, where autumn breezes ripple across the lake. Locals dance, skateboard, and share laughter under red national flags. \"The joy here is contagious,\" Leo says. \"You feel how history and community come alive during celebrations.\"
