BEIJING (China Daily/Asia News Network): Visiting the campuses of the famous Peking University (PKU) and Tsinghua University is a huge summer attraction for Chinese students and their parents.

As only a limited number of visitors are allowed to enter the premises of the two universities on any given day, scalpers are making big money by selling free entry tickets at high prices to eager students.
