Hi,
I will be attending training at Tsinghua Unisplendour International Center 2nd week of April. Can someone recommend some mid-range hotels around ($30-$40)Tsinghua Unisplendour International Center or Tsinghua University? (postcode 100084)
You guys may suggest some “must see” around the area, but information on Hotels will be my priority for now.
Thks in advanced.
Wow you're gonna be in Beijing! Awesome! Well, I *personally* lurved it there. Anyway, dont have much to suggest about the accomodation since I stayed with my friend. Anyway, just wanted to drop by here....
PS cocktails sucked.
PPS Dont forget to check out Beijing Uni.
:)
try tiananmen square, forbidden city, summer palace and Hongqiao market (this is where you buy all the cheap imitations and its really fun to bargain). if you can squeeze in a trip to the the ming tombs and great wall that would be awesome. i think there are lots of hotels in wang fu jing road but they are moslty more than $100. I forgot the name but there's a restaurant in wang fu jing road which is famous for peking duck.
Besides the training, i'll be at Xi'an & Beijing from 5th to 10th April. I believe my package will cover most of the major attractions. I will be checking out Tsinghua Uni, but a bit lost for the surroundings.
Tsinghua Univ. is quite near from Yuanmingyuan(or old summer palace which was almost distroyed in Opium War) and not far from Summer Palace.
This is exactly where you are going!

The Unis Center is located at Wu Dao Kou, you may also find some hotels like Tsinghua Hotel (cannot find online)...
The Center is just near Tsinghua University (my alma mater), I recommend the Qinghuanyuan(Tsinghua Garden) Hotel to you, this is a 2 star hotel near the campus(also very near the Center in which you attend the training. you can contact with it by following info.

A flower in the Square
by Carly Wong
A flower in the Square
Of deepest red for the
Blood of youth that flowed
Onto the stones
And found its way between
The cracks to make
China grow again
A patch over the Square
Of purest blue for the
Soul of youth that seeks
From decade past
Reason to journey
The skies to find
China heart again
Voltage is 220 volts. In Hong Kong they operated on the 3 pronged flat British type plug, but I also had another fat round 3 pin plug in my apartment which was an older type and was gradually being replaced by the flat head plug.
The Beijing Language Institute is a wonderful place with many trees and a lot of nice people from all over the world. Please see my travelogue!
It is the best place in China to learn Mandarin. Now it is called "Culture and Language University"

As to me the 700-year-old Wangfujing street is not the most interesting street in Beijing but it is probably the most famous and busiest.
Because of its easy access to the major roads, high land prices and high density of retail and service business and the high degree of population flow, Wangfujing is now considered the city’s central business disctrict .
I don’t like it too much now, its modernazition leading up to high-rocket prices and hundred-years old small typical spots giving place to world renowed brand names.
Everything you buy is relatively more expensive than in the rest of the city. Even the food in this area is also more expensive. No wonder why Wangfujing street is reputed by locals as a "golden street".
What attracts me in Wangfujing is definitely not its night food street, the snacks here just make me cry (for the tourists, however, the snacks must be kind of delicacies), what attracts me, I was saying, it is the Xinhua Bookstore and the Beijing Foreign Languages Bookstore, nice places to spend all day, reading, reading and reading.
As to eating in Wangfujing I only like the “Gou bu li” restaurant that sells some of the best steamed buns in town (check it NOW).
Another thing I like about Wangfujing is that you can freely walk around because much of the road is off-limits to cars and other motor vehicles
Wangfujing is located in the Dongcheng District of Beijing. The street has an extention of 1,150 meters, from Wangfujing Nankou to Dengshi Xikou.
Wangfujing is served by Line 1 of the Beijing subway (at the southern end of the street). Line 1 is an important subway line for you because is the only one that runs through the centre of Beijing (it runs from Pingguoyuan (west) to Sihui East (East), through beneath the extended Chang’an Avenue and the commercial areas of Xidan, Wangfujing and Dongdan. It also has two stations in both sides of Tiananmen).
The best way to get around Beijing, in our opinion, is to take a taxi. The majority of meter taxis are red with a little sticker on the side with 1.20, 1.60, 2.00 and so on. This sticker indicates the kilometre rate, and I guess (in theory at least) the better the car, the more expensive the ride. The only challenge with the taxi drivers is that most of them don’t speak English so just getting back to the hotel can be a challenge :-) The best way to beat this challenge was to have the hotel’s name and address on a business card to show to the taxi driver
