I was just in China and noticed that many stylish and evidently well made clothes incorporate inscriptions and logos that don't make any sense, and really detract from the overall feel of the item. It seems like there should be a market for punchy, on point inscriptions that would also increase marketability in English speaking countries. What do you think? We are a small outfit that could supply that kind of content - how would we get into it? submitted by /u/Southporter [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m visiting later this year and wanted to do some things that are less touristy and really get a feel for the city! Will be doing the usual tourist stuff but would be great if anyone has any recommendations of things to do ☺️ Trying to figure out Alipay and get everything sorted before I travel to make life easier once I arrive ☺️ submitted by /u/Travelling-Exploring [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello. Does anyone know of a fountain pen shop in central Beijing with a good selection of brands? I found an old thread recommending to go to Meishuguan - but did not find any (was I in the wrong place??). Any tip would be really appreciated! submitted by /u/pippokerakii [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi, you guys mentioned already, that it is quite easy to get into Tsinghua as a (white/european) foreigner. How possible is it to get (at least) a tuition scholarship? submitted by /u/WesternMaster4230 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I am planning to go to the Strawberry music fest on the outskirts of town and a rumour that it is a dry venue just wont go away. Is there any truth to it? If so, how thorough is the security check going to be? submitted by /u/KristenHuoting [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'll be heading back to Beijing next month for the first time in 5 years, and I remember that Yikatong cards become "frozen" after 2 years of inactivity. I've looked through this sub and seen a lot of information about buying new Yikatong cards with a passport, but could I just reactivate it with a station attendant at PEK's T2/T3 and go on my merry way? Or would they not do it for a foreigner? submitted by /u/bigyikesmoment [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Does anyone know of a place that offers foreigner-friendly calligraphy or (preferrably traditional) art-related classes? Not looking for any of those tea ceremony + calligraphy tourist activities, I'd like to take up a legit, art-related after work hobby. I'm actively learning mandarin but I'm still struggling with the language quite a bit. I'd really appreciate it if you could point out some artsy activities or groups I could join. Thank you! submitted by /u/Adventurous-Fox7825 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi! I will be in Beijing for 6 days in July and I'm trying to find out how to use the subway. I've searched this sub and found conflicting answers. Is it possible to buy a physical one? How? I couldn't use the miniapp on WeChat because it requires a Chinese phone number, which I don't have. submitted by /u/zephyrus53221 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hello everyone, I'm going to China with a a few friends after 13 years away, and one of the things I loved most was zooming aroudn the city on my e-bike. We'll be there for 2 weeks, is there any existing service to rent out a dozen bikes for a day or more ? Thank you very much ! submitted by /u/Owcidy [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
