Language exchange
A relaxed weekly coffee meetup for international students and local students. Beginners are welcome; the goal is conversation, friendship, and helping each other settle into Beijing.
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.
