Meetups
Looking for a small group to explore historic streets, take photos, and share a local lunch. Public places only and everyone pays their own costs.
Travel buddies
Two graduate students planning a daytime train trip to Dujiangyan. We want to meet other students interested in history, nature, and practicing Chinese.
Local help
I recently completed registration in Hangzhou and can share a simple checklist for the first week. Please keep questions in the public replies so future students can benefit too.
