Beijing United Family Hospital
by mke1963
This is Beijing's premier, full service international hospital which can deal (or at least stablise) all emergencies. This is the place you need to head for in the event of really serious medical emergencies if you do not have really fluent Chinese (there are other hospital services that are as good...SOS and Vista) but I do not know them so well).
They have very good ICU, inpatient, outpatient, TCM and dental facilities, but it is, naturally, extremely expensive. All staff speak good English and doctors are from a variety of countries including the US, Germany, ireland and Hong Kong.
They also have an official isolation ward in case you have something which needs it. The hospital is 150 metres away from the Lido hotel in Dashanzi on the same road, in a very non-descript building. Address:
2 Jingtai Lu, Chaoyang
Phone: 010 6433 3962
Fax: 010 6433 3963
EMERGENCIES, CALL: 010 6433 2345

Just believe me! It really works! ~-)
Yuanmingyuan
by nepalgoods
The park of Yuanmingyuan is not often visited by western tourists. Of the palace, which once stood here and resembled an European palace not much remains. But there are fields, trees and small lakes. It is a very nice place for a walk or a stop on the way to the Summerpalace.
WANG FU JING , the heart of Beijing !
by Sally_chen about WANG FU JING STREET
This is a street full of department stores / Old Beijing brand store/book store/ video everything .
I like to come here at weekend, but not for big shopping . I enjoy walking on the floor which is decolated with marble ,especially in a sunny spring afternoon. I like the feelling being in the middle of the people. You know this street is considered as NO 1 street in China. It has many years hsitory and many old brand stores are existed for tens of years .
There is a Christian church in the street, also you can find starbucks facing the church.
If you like Beijing snack, right next to this there is place full of all kinds of street food during night time. Generally no worry for the hygiene , nothing happened to me when I eat there!
Enjoy!
