1st trip to Beijing

Hello smurfzzz and welcome to Expat.com!

For the volunteering work, you should post an advert in Beijing classifieds > community section/ Clubs, associations, volunteers.

It may help.

I hope that you will have a nice stay,
Harmonie.

Hi Harmonie, thanks for the warm welcome.

Beside volunteering work, Im also trying my luck here to see if I could find any nice people here in Beijing to hang out with

I'm sure that if you become active on the forum, you'll get a lot of nice contacts.

Hi,

I am in Dalian, but still wish you good luck in Bejing. And some day if you'd like to take a trip in Dalian, then you could contact me. Agian, enjoy yourself in China!!!

Best regards,

Michael

I just moved to Bejing for at least a year. I am living and working in Haidian district (Northwest Beijing). Feel free to contact me and perhaps we can meet up in person.

Hi, S

I am a native beijinger, and i live in beijing for 25 years. So if u have any problems about the city, it is pleasure for me to help.

Finally book my hotel which is beside Mei LanFang theatre, CheGongZhuang subway.

May I know how is the neighbourhood there? Is it safe to travel around in the night? And where is a good place for food around that area? Is that place considered central and convenient?
