The most authentic German elbow in Beijing, the story of a former East German military attache starting his own business in China

A Beijing native took me to eat at 5 century-old restaurants?! The sesame sauce makes the belly pop, the glutinous donkey rolls around, and it's stewed. .

I've been researching to compile a list of cultural theme parks, in China, that showcase Chinese architecture (old, new, traditional, modern, fantasy), Chinese music - song and dance or shows / performances, Chinese gardens, Chinese food, hanfu photoshoot opportunities, with NPC, interactive or immersive attractions. So far, I've found these ones on Trip.com. See images attached. Yes! I'm a tourist and enjoy visiting these kinds of places... I love ancient China. I watch a lot of Chinese costume dramas. If I could time travel, I really would! I have already visited Millennium City Park and The Song Dynasty Of Kungfu City - Wanshuishanwuxiacheng in Kaifeng. I loved both and will revisit them in the future! **My questions are...** **Am I missing any other famous, popular, must-visit cultural theme park attractions in China?** **If yes, can you give me the name, website, link or** [**Trip.com**](http://Trip.com) **webpage for these other cultural theme park attractions please?** I've read about the newly-opened Iqiyi land in Yangzhou, and there's going to be one in Hangzhou, Beijing and Kaifeng in next few years too. I know these are more cdrama-based attractions (fictional) but they are the most ideal places for me to visit - to enjoy ancient China...? I know I won't be able to visit them all... but I hope by having a list, it will help me plan my travel route around China, better, to include as many as I can!!! Thanks for your time!

hi! im travelling to Beijing next week and am in the market for a pair of nice oxford shoes and some nice oxford shirts. may i know the best places to find such items? the best quality and good prices.

Does anyone know of a powerlifting gyms (ideally with calibrated plates and power bar) in Beijing? Would love to be able to continue training while I’m traveling

I’m planning a 26‑day trip across China in June 2027 with one travel partner. We’ll be using high‑speed trains, Didi, and a few private drivers. I’d appreciate feedback from people familiar with these cities on pacing, routing, and whether anything looks inefficient. Note: Dragon Boat Festival is June 9–11. Curious how much this affects crowds or transport. Itinerary Overview Beijing – 5 days Tiananmen → Forbidden City → Jingshan Park Hutongs, Houhai, Nanluoguxiang Temple of Heaven Mutianyu Great Wall Summer Palace → train to Xi’an Xi’an – 3 days City Wall (bike), Bell/Drum Towers Muslim Quarter Terracotta Army (+ Huaqing Palace optional) Giant Wild Goose Pagoda → flight to Zhangjiajie Zhangjiajie / Wulingyuan – 5 days + buffer Yellow Dragon Cave Yuanjiajie → Tianzi Mountain Golden Whip Stream Tianmen Mountain 1 weather buffer day Chongqing – 2 days Hongya Cave Liziba Monorail + Yangtze Cable Car Dazu Rock Carvings Chengdu – 6 days Panda Base People’s Park teahouse Wuhou Shrine → Jinli → Kuanzhai Alley Sichuan Opera Leshan Giant Buddha Hanfu photoshoot day Free day Hangzhou – 4 days West Lake walk + boat Lingyin Temple + Feilai Peak Longjing / Meijiawu tea villages Questions for people familiar with these cities Is the pacing reasonable for June Any days that look inefficient or poorly routed Will Dragon Boat Festival noticeably affect trains or major attractions Is the Zhangjiajie order practical Any city where adding or removing a day would help Thanks for any insight.

Hey 朋友们, it’s been years since I lived in Beijing. I’ll be visiting for about three months and I’m looking for a couple of services. Hoping to get some quality recommendations. First, a good shoe repair shop, specifically somewhere that can add rubber soles or Vibram soles to expensive leather shoes. Second, a reliable hair salon for medium to longer-length men’s haircuts. Looking for someone who can handle more styled cuts, not just a basic trims I’ll be staying around the Dongcheng / Gulou area, so anything nearby would be ideal, but I’m open to traveling for quality. 辛苦你们！

Can anyone recommend someone they've used? Ideally in Haidian or Shijingshan as I'm in the west of the city, but I could travel to Chaoyang if necessary.

Hello! I will soon be taking a business trip to Beijing to visit my company headquarters. I'm very excited, and I really want to make a good impression because I'm new. However, I'm American and not used to dressing professionally, and I keep reading that the professional dress code in China is more formal than in the US. I was planning on wearing gray or black slacks with button up shirts (like [this](https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=896970002&vid=1&tid=onpl000078&kwid=1&ap=7&ds_agid=17394539939-&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17394539732&gbraid=0AAAAAD_AT8vKZRnAnF66JVuupom16YmFN&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4a3OBhCHARIsAChaqJP0lXept1oBvU5ndRCijwvo5mNfuX97GWeTz_v0dYTXuEgf0yHFONEaAg5uEALw_wcB#pdp-page-content) and [this](https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=5137680220004&tid=onem013380&locale=en_US&EV=ONOC&DI=270704369&CD=_&ET_JOB_ID=511562&CAMPAIGN_ID=&vid=1#pdp-page-content)) paired with brown or black loafers. Are these appropriately professional, or should I pair them with a blazer? I also have a gay mullet-y haircut, and I don't know how I should try to style it. It's similar to [this](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3f/91/9a/3f919ac6ea14ab4c537481ade28c60ca.jpg), but not dyed. Should I grow it out a bit before going? Of course I know there are plenty of queer people in Beijing, but I'm not sure how that style will be received in a professional setting. Thank you! I'm excited to visit your beautiful city!

YouTube blogger: @thoughtsontravelandlife Number of fans: 14,000 As soon as this white-faced old man opened his mouth, the whole network was shocked! He was born in China in the 1950s, grew up in an ordinary public school, and experienced that special era firsthand. In the video, he subconsciously uses Chinese mental arithmetic, complains that parents nowadays are too doting on their children, and compares Chinese and foreign pensions and social security. His words are full of the "bureaucracy" and sharpness of old Beijing. Not only can he speak Chinese, but he also identifies with this land from the bottom of his heart. Listening to him tell about that little-known story about his growth, he will help you appreciate the Chinese heart in the soul of a "foreigner". This is the true cultural fusion!

Luo Wanlin graduated from the Beijing Dance Academy. She immigrated to the UK more than ten years ago and opened her own dance school (in 1967). From a few children at the beginning, it now has forty or fifty. Chinese dance is dragon and lion dance? Martial arts? In order to let more foreigners have a clearer understanding of what real Chinese classical dance is, Luo Wanlin participated in dance festivals, Spring Festival Gala (British), opened her own dance studio, and participated in the "Move it" All-British Dance Festival at least eight times... She can stick to her dreams and share them with everyone, hoping to inspire more people; of course, including herself.

Cao Siyu, a Beijing girl who has studied abroad and worked for ten years, drew cartoons about the cultural differences between China and the West that she has felt over the years. These cartoons resonated strongly with netizens, and foreign media also rushed to repost them. Whether you are living in China or traveling abroad, these comics can make you feel the same way. If you don’t believe me, take a look:

Hey all, Im going to be back in Beijing in March to take care of some family business but I was curious what physical markets are best for Aliexpress/Ebay level of server parts. Hoping to upgrade my homelab with some savings. Im looking specifically for things like modded 4090s with 48 gb vram or used Epyc CPUs or cheaper Chinese ECC ram. Prices from Ebay and Aliexpress look decent but I was hoping to find these same sellers for hopefully additional discounts in person vs online.

I'll be traveling to China in a couple of weeks and need to get a train from Beijing to Zhengzhou. I've looked on Trip.com and it says I can get a train from Bejingxi to Zhengzhoudong, however when I looked on Google maps where Bejingxi station is (assuming its Beijing West station) it says its permanently closed. Can anyone advise please?

Yesterday during a big snowstorm in New York, Uber fare went up 5 times. From airport to my house, it is usually about 20 USD. Yesterday it was about 100 USD! Didi and other taxi in Beijing can shot up 5 times in severe weather too?

Hi guys, wondering if I can get a recommendation for a good spot that does Xian Lamb and cumin hand pulled noodles in Beijing? Staying in the middle of the city but happy to get a 30min or so didi to somewhere good. Thanks
