Oct 1 marks China's National Day, opening the week-long Golden Week holiday.

As autumn settles over Beijing and paints the city in hues of red and gold, Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) extends warm greetings to our students, faculty, alumni and friends around the world.

For many on campus, the holiday is a chance to travel home, to explore the city, or simply to slow down with friends between classes.

Wherever this holiday finds you, BFSU hopes it brings rest, good company and moments worth remembering.
