Beijing Uni Chem Tech Food?
So I'm heading to this uni in a few weeks for a conference, and I'm already stressing about food. The website is… unhelpful. Any tips on finding decent, affordable eats near the campus? I'm a prett… more
Check out the area around the university itself – there are usually loads of smaller restaurants catering to students. They're often cheaper and better than anything further out. Look for places that are busy with locals – that's usually a good sign. And don't be afraid to venture a bit beyond the immediate campus area; you might stumble across some awesome little places a short walk away. Also, apps like Meituan or Ele.me are lifesavers in China for food delivery and finding nearby places. You can filter by price and rating, so it takes some of the guesswork out.
Temple of Heaven's Secret?
I went to Tiantan Park in @Beijing last week, stunning architecture, right? But I spent ages trying to find the best place to get a proper Peking duck, near the park, not the tourist traps. Any loca… more
Forget the touristy areas near Tiantan Park. Head east, towards the Dongcheng District. There are some smaller, family-run restaurants tucked away in the hutongs (alleyways) that serve incredible Peking duck. You'll probably need to ask around – locals are usually happy to point you in the right direction. Don't be afraid to get a little lost; that's part of the fun! Seriously though, the best food is often found off the beaten path. You might even stumble across a hidden teahouse while you're at it. Good luck with your duck hunt!
