Not “sports bar with one TV in the corner” energy.

I mean:

- packed for big matches

- proper football crowd

- people actually singing

- decent beer

- stays open for late kickoffs

- Arsenal fans preferred obviously 👀

Been away from the Beijing football scene too long after 10 years in London and need to know where the real matchday spots are now. Given how special today is to us all!!!!!

Hey Friends, I am studying for the GRE and looking for places where I can self-study. I am based in Chaoyang and have an electric scooter.

Coffee shops are fine but I’m looking for something like a library (more desk space). I’ve seen several paid study spaces on Dianping but most of them look kinda depressing.

Any recs will be much appreciated :)

Hi there,

I’m planning to ski for 5 days 4 nights in nanshan ski resort.

The official nanshan ski resort does not have a link to book the hotel room for coming dec 2026.

Anyone here could advice website that I could book room either the ski resort ? Or accommodation near by?

I’m also trying to look for multiple day ski pass for cheaper price. Seems like they did not offer this option…?

Thanks in advance!

Aussies looking for a street with a bit of something going on I feel like Beijing is really quiet at night compared to other cities we’ve been too. Not sure if we’ve been looking in the wrong spot, but we really want to go to a street with a few bar options.Travelling with girls so cocktail bars/ good music also appreciated.

Hey guys,

i‘ll be in Beijing soon. I‘ll stay there for a few weeks and I‘ll bring a commander deck with me.
I‘d love to connect with the local/expat magic scene in Beijing.

Does anyone know, if there are any places i should check out to get in touch with the local/expat scene and maybe also to buy my favourite cards as singles in chinese?

Thank you!
