Last Day at Dandelion
We had so much fun on our last day at The Dandelion School with our new friends! (Please note that this movie version was created for the blog, and we will provide one of better quality to dLab Beijing participants.)
Peking University
We started the day at Peking University, which is hosting its 5th annual Peking University National Model United Nations Conference for High School Students. First, we took a brief tour of the campus, and then, students observed the conference’s committee sessions and interviewed student delegates about China’s future.
Afternoon Classes
Students participated in classes at our host institution this afternoon. They started with a P.E. class, and then, they took either a painting, dance, music or calligraphy class.
Field Research at The Lama Temple
Students interviewed visitors to The Lama Temple on Monday. Here are their videos from that day:

Lao She Teahouse
After morning classes and an afternoon at The Dandelion School, we dined on Mongolian hot pot…
…and then we visited the Lao She Teahouse for entertainment, desserts, and tea, of course!
Temple of Confucius
After The Lama Temple, we walked a short distance to the Temple of Confucius. Confucius and his disciples are commemorated here, and it is also the site of school where many came to study his philosophy and where the emperor gave speeches on the Confucian classics.
The Lama Temple
This afternoon we visited the Lama Temple, or the Palace of Peace and Harmony Lama Temple. It is Beijing’s largest Tibetan Buddhist monasteries. See Sarah and Charlie’s video for more!
