Stephen Balaban suggests:

  • Eat Jian Bing - buy them from the street (they are egg crepes that

are great for breakfast)

  • Go to ZhongGuanCun 中关村, this is technology heaven and is not far from 798
  • Go to 798 and check out the Yuanfen~Flow incubator
  • Stop by a Beijing Linux Users Group (BLUG) meeting -- Peter Junge

<peter.junge *at* beijinglug *dot* org> & Ollo "Barcode" barcode
<barcode *at* beijinglug *dot* org> are great guys

  • I thoroughly enjoyed simply walking around and finding a park early

in the morning or later in the afternoon and just hanging out with old
people doing tai chi and water-brush calligraphy if I wanted to relax


Peter, of the Beijing Int'l Film Fest recommends (in Beijing):

  • meet Matthew Gao Hong Wei and see his exhibit at Central Academy of Fine Arts
  • digital media lab at Central Academy of Fine Arts
