Beijing International Sudoku Tournament 2012

Beijing Media Network (BMN), a WPF member, will host its second Sudoku tournament–the 2012 Beijing International Sudoku Tournament.BMN is one of China’s largest media corporations, which controls the radio, TV, film, and digital technology industries in Beijing. In May 2011, BMN organized the first international Soduku Tournament in Beijing with participants from 19 countries and regions.

The tournament will be organized in the same style as the WSC’s but a one-day free local tour to the Forbidden City and the Beijing old residential alley is added. The BIST’12 takes place between 17 and 21 May during the most beautiful season in Beijing.

Being a most prestigious tourist destination, the Forbidden City is located in the very center of Beijing. Built-in 1420, it served as the Chinese Imperial court from 1420 to 1911 with 24 emperors and has remained the world's largest, most completed ancient architecture complex of wooden structures, honored as one of the world's most grand royal palaces.
