In response to Re you raise to the occasion or you rise to the occasion (no a teacher)

Native English speakers would never say or write "I am going to go to" in that context (and writing it without a conjunction or semicolon - using a comma is a comma splice). It sounds redundant and childish. We would simply say or write "I am going to Beijing."
We would use the "am going to go to" construction when mentioning a number of options from which we have chosen: "I've been accepted to several universities, but I am going to go to Columbia."
