Yes, I meant the Chaoyang Park Fair.

or even make it a long day on 12 Feb .. start with the Chaoyang Park Fair in the early afternoon and then in the evening head over to the Hilton Beijing's Annual Easter Pancake Race

The Pancake thing starts at 7:00pm and is free, with special deal on drinks and things.

Anyone interested post here a reply. Just say ..."I'm in" ... and then lets meet 14:00 by the Chaoyang Park Main Gate (South Gate).

So that we know to wait for you I suggest that everyone tests me there mobile number.

Mine is 13911098002.

I pass through Beijing quite often and would also like to meet some new people. I'm usually here for just a day so probably some sightseeing and lunch/dinner is all I have time for.

I'll be catching a connecting flight in Beijing on 4/14, and will be back on 4/22 and will spend a day in Beijing.

Hello! I am Canadian and (I think) speak decent English. I happen to be looking for someone who can teach me Mandarin and share jokes and laughs.

I just got here yesterday. I am here to conduct research into Canada-China Energy relations. I am staying near Dawanglu station. It would be great to meet up.

Best,
Victor

Hello Victor,

I am new to the city, too! I probably can't show you around, but I can teach you Manderin, and maybe grab a cup of coffee, beer, or whatever? My office is in Wanda Plaza, very close to Dawanglu. So we can meet up easily.

Let me know if you're free to walk around!
