I have been living in Haidian the last 7 months. Haidian, known as the Silicon Valley of China is a neat city, abet different than BJ east..

I will ping you my land line # & email. I am NOT addicted to my various cell #'s, and seldom answer them, as they are mostly spam calls.

If you can, get the van license plate #, and the drivers cell #. It will take you about 40 minutes to an hour to clear passport control and gather your luggage in T2, or T3. T2 is abet easier and much more friendly for a van pick up.
