It has more than 40 fully equipped language labs and multi-media classrooms, including some exclusively designed for phonetic training. All classrooms are air-conditioned and equipped with modern aural comprehension training facilities.

Highlights: Beijing-a city holding on to 2,000 year-old customs while ushering in 21st century skyscrapers-is a city to see up close. Start with The Great Wall, then work your way into a nearby pagoda for tea. See an outdoor musical, then grab dinner of sesame chicken and noodles from a street stand, ending up in your cozy 20th floor dormitory to chitchat with your roommate. Fall asleep excited to see more of Beijing tomorrow. Panrimo students choose Beijing to learn more of Asian culture, its large and inviting college student population, and to study Chinese language at a premier university.
