On May 30, the Summer Session of the 2026 Beijing International Talent Festival kicked off along the Grand Canal. As a shimmering landscape painting unfolded, the “Colorful Moments@Beijing” International Talent Map lit up the entire city.
Next up, international talents across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region can unlock a vibrant summer. Think laid-back canal strolls and enchanting Great Wall night tours, authentic Beijing flavors paired with ice-cold local brews, breezy terraces and breathtaking suburban escapes — not to mention cultural deep dives and exciting entrepreneurial experiences. It’s an entire season of good vibes, all wrapped up in a single map.
Here, you can: Gather a few friends for a leisurely stroll through classic gardens or sip drinks over heartfelt conversations — pure bliss. Take a nighttime boat ride or climb to a high vantage point for dazzling views with your family — non‑stop fun. Meet up with your startup partners to tour innovation parks or run mock pitch sessions — sparkling ideas. Every one of these social scenes is a “Colorful Moment@Beijing” — a summer highlight you’d like to share.
Canal Cruise · Gentle Ripples
Hop on a canal boat, listen to the gentle lapping of the water, and enjoy the sparkling blue waves as you sail past millennium-old landmarks. When night falls, be fully immersed in the water-themed performance, “Cruising the Canal” — a breathtaking journey through ancient grain‑transport scenes, shimmering under the reflections of oars and lights. The Grand Canal is now a water-friendly paradise for all ages, where children run and laugh, adults relax over camping chats, and the youthful energy of the talent‑friendly district along the West Bank of the Grand Canal truly shines.

Night at the Great Wall · Starlight Stroll
Ascend the Great Wall under a canopy of twinkling stars with your loved ones. Pause to look out into the distance, and let the mystical grandeur of the ancient ramparts wash over you, beautifully illuminated against the night sky. Amidst blue skies and fresh green meadows in daylight, wander through the terraced sea of over 300,000 Chinese roses at Beijing Expo Park and let your kids embark on the “Rose Treasure Hunt Adventure”. Wrap up the day by staying in an Olympic-themed room. The next morning, the adventure continues with drone-building workshops and a trip up to the “Flying Snow Swallow” (National Alpine Skiing Centre) for a breathtaking, unique view of midsummer.

Beer Garden · Double the Cheer
As the sun sets, the beer garden transforms into a lively hub for colleagues, friends, and families. With open lawns, super canopies, a dedicated kids’ play area, and a robot‑football challenge field, adults can clink glasses in the craft‑beer taproom while children have a blast in their own zone. Wander through stalls of Chinese and international bazaars, sample global cuisines, browse creative exhibitions, and go to an open‑air concert. Here, locals and international friends share stories and laughter — a warm, vibrant picture of global community life unfolding.
