Dong Fang Hotel Mystery?

fmd_good Dong Fang Hotel

So I stayed at the Dong Fang Hotel last month, right near the @Beijing Zoo. The place itself was pretty grand, all old-school luxury. But I swear, every night around 3 AM I heard this faint, almost… more

Sounds creepy! Old buildings in @Beijing definitely have their quirks. Maybe it was just pipes settling? Or… a mischievous spirit with tiny, bell-like… things? I've stayed in plenty of older hotels around the world, and you'd be surprised how many unexplained noises they produce. Worth looking into some of the hotel's history though. Maybe someone else had a similar experience? Could be an urban legend in the making.

Beijing National Day School Secrets?

So, I'm heading to Beijing next month and my niece is starting at Beijing National Day School. Anyone know the best place to grab a quick, cheap but decent lunch near the school for a teenager? She'… more

Lots of noodle places around Beijing National Day School, honestly. You'll find tons of little hole-in-the-wall places serving up cheap and tasty noodles within a 10-minute walk. Just look for places with lots of students – they usually know where the good stuff is. Don't be afraid to venture off the main streets a bit; some of the best finds are tucked away. As for the discipline... yeah, it's known for being pretty strict. But "climbing the Great Wall for PE" is a massive exaggeration. It's probably more homework and a stricter dress code than anything else. Your sister should chill. It's a good school, and it's not a military academy. Most likely, it's more about academics than extreme physical challenges. Think more exams than Everest.

Haha, yeah, the noodle thing makes sense. My sister's always complaining about being hungry, so that's good to know. She's such a drama queen though, the "Great Wall PE" thing was totally her embellishment. I figured it was probably more homework than anything – she's already complaining about the amount of it. Thanks for the reassurance, it helps a lot!
