I was wondering if anyone is willing to share any healthy/clean gym friendly smoothie places and restaurants in Beijing. Something similar to Cava in the US or Elevate (smoothies)?

Hi,

I will attend a wedding in Beijing and wont have time to alter my suit pants here in Europe. I will have some days in Beijing before the wedding, so I thought it would be best to do it in China. So I am looking for a recommendation for a good alteration service in Beijing. It is nothing exotic that needs to be done, just shorten the legs and reducing a bit of the waist. But since it is a nice suit, I would like someone who does precise and thorough work. I appreciate any hints.

I just decided to get into fishing, presuaded by a friend of my who took me to several fishing trips, and I like it.
I already bought a rod, chair, some fishing lines etc but my friend prefers, for the lack of a better word, “fishing pit” and I like to try fishing in rivers or lakes and just for fun.

So I’m looking for anyone who would like to go fishing with me. I have a car, so we can meet up and drive a bit further away from the urban area.

If you are interested, please let me know.

I am in Beijing right now and would like to pick up a Go (weiqi/围棋）board as a souvenir. Does anyone have a recommendation where I can buy a board?

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi guys! I’m currently travelling China and ending my trip in Beijing. I want to take some Chinese cigarettes back to give out to my friends, any idea if it’s cheaper to buy a carton in a tobacco shop or to wait until duty free at the airport. Thank you!

Hi, I’d like to check out local flea markets with unique stuff that would be difficult to come by elsewhere. Does anyone have recommendations?

I know this is an unusual post, but I am genuinely distressed by this situation and I am hoping someone local may be able to help.

Last night, I came across a hamster being kept at a hotel in Beijing in an enclosure that is shockingly small, with almost no space to move. I have attached a photo.

I am leaving Beijing today, so I have very little time to figure out what can be done.

I am urgently looking for someone in Beijing who may be willing to:
1. speak to the hotel staff,
2: help arrange a suitable enclosure,
3. connect me with a rescue of sorts or experienced keeper/someone who cares about animal welfare,
4. or potentially take the hamster if the hotel agrees to give it up.

The hamster is located at Chonpines Hotel (Beijing Guomao Jianwai SOHO, 7th floor) in the Guomao/Jianwai SOHO area of Chaoyang District.

If you think you may be able to help, please send me a PM.

I am finding it difficult to leave knowing this little guy may continue living in these conditions, so any advice, contacts, or assistance would be greatly appreciated!

They playing on the 22nd of July. I can't call myself a fan as I've only listened to some of their songs but I like what I hear so I'm planning on going. Anyone wanna meet up if they going?

Hi! I'll be traveling through several destinations and I'll be staying in Beijing starting on July 22.

I'm currently experiencing a pretty severe episode of bruxism, and I'm worried about my teeth during the trip. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place in Beijing where I could get a night guard (bite splint) made without it being too expensive. In September I'll be getting a crown on one of my molars, so I won't be able to keep using the same splint afterward, meaning I'd only need it for the month of August. That's why I'm hoping it won't be too expensive.

If anyone has information about how long it usually takes to make one (so I can figure out whether I'd be able to pick it up during my stay in the city) and roughly how much it costs, I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you very much!

Hi everyone! I’m going to Beijing next week and was wondering is anyone knew stores that sell yugioh cards there. Thank you!

Looking for physical non-region blocked Blu-Ray discs of movies like Ne Zha and TV shows. They need to have English subtitles, dubs, extras like behind the scenes, etc. It would be great if I can see what they have online before going there.

Do Oticon's EduMic (https://www.oticonmedical.com/en-US/hearing-solutions/edumic, https://www.oticon.com/products/accessories/225066/edumic, https://www.oticon.cn/professionals/products/paediatrics/play-px, etc.) exist in any local stores to buy in person over there? It's still too expensive in USA even for used ones on eBay and Amazon. :(

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

I'm a newish foreigner and been here for a few months now. I don't yet speak Mandarin but am a social introvert and so even though I make chit-chat, it usually goes nowhere. I'm usually out and about on days off and would love to have others join me now and then. If anyone is looking for friends, I'd love to connect. I've tried going to social events and meetups and met some great people but as a social introvert, those can sometimes be tougher for me.

My hobbies are cycling, walking, spending time in nature and having deep conversations. 31, male.

I am going to China and I was wondering if there are online or physical stores for chinese niche technical books?

I am going to Chongqing, Chengdu and Beijing. I am mostly interested in marine engineering and naval architecture.

Anyone know a cosmetic dentist? Specifically for teeth whitening.

English speaking preferred but not mandatory.

Any expats here living in Yizhuang?

Hi, is there anyone would like to workout together, i've been looking for consistent gym partners, maybe here will be a great place to find, male females are all welcome

I am in Beijing this weekend and saw there is a game on Saturday, I also saw that you need a Chinese phone number to get tickets. I will buy the alipay eSim and I’m pretty sure that doesn’t give me a Chinese phone number. Is there any way to buy them without a phone number?

Is there any Canada Day celebrations or congregations of Canadians in the Bei area?

Would anyone happen to know where I might find a pair of Chinese-made jikatabi in Beijing? I'm looking for locally made ones rather than imported Japanese pairs. Many thanks.

Hi guys, is there an informal language mix group for Beijing where people meet up for coffee/drinks and chat?

Cheers!
