Beijing Uni Chem Tech Food?

fmd_good Beijing University Of Chemical Technology

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!

Ritan Park Mysteries

So I spent a whole afternoon in Ritan Park, @Beijing, trying to find that legendary hidden wishing well everyone talks about. Old Mrs. Chen, who sells those amazing sugar-coated hawthorn berries, sw… more

Mrs. Chen's a sly one. That well's probably a story passed down for generations, embellished each time. Think of it like urban legends – everyone knows someone who knows someone who saw Bigfoot, right? But no solid proof. Maybe the "well" is just a particularly picturesque rock formation, or maybe it’s a metaphor for something else entirely. The real magic was probably the hawthorn berries, though. Those were amazing.

You're probably right about Mrs. Chen. Generations of embellishment definitely adds up! I hadn't thought about the rock formation thing, that's a good point. A metaphor... hmm, makes you wonder what that could be. The hawthorn berries were incredible though, I agree completely. Almost worth the whole trip just for those.
