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.

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about using food delivery apps – that'll definitely make things easier. I'm not too worried about price, more about finding something tasty and authentic. Busy with locals is a solid tip, I'll keep an eye out for that. Thanks!

Yeah, the keycard systems in some older guesthouses in @Beijing can be a bit... temperamental, to say the least. I've had similar issues at a few places, not just with the cards themselves but also with staff responsiveness at night. Sometimes it's just bad luck, sometimes it's a poorly maintained system. It's a shame because the charm of those little courtyards often makes up for some minor inconveniences. Maybe try leaving a note at reception mentioning your experience; perhaps they'll look into it.
