Beijing Meet Up (End of the Month, August)?
Hey there-
I'll be in Beijing during 23-26/7 of this month, if anyone would like to meet up. Goals for this trip include a visit to the Niujie area, Yanjiao, and perhaps to the abandoned amusement park; if you're interested in going to any of these places/anywhere else, let me know.

Fiddlesticks! Any substitutes for Wonderland in the Beijing area?
Also, how's Datong? Perhaps I'll avail of the NAY flight (and if anyone has pointers about getting to that airport, I'd appreciate it).

If amusement parks are your thing, happy valley is okay, but I also enjoy chaoyang park myself.
Regarding nay, unless you're near xidan (free bus), taxi/uber is the only sane way to get there.

You like Chaoyang Park's amusement park? Really? I am surprised. As it was across the street of my apartment, I used to walk through the park often and the amusement park reminds me of something out of the 60s. Adequate for kids below 10 years old.
Happy Valley is a real amusement park.

Jiatong,
I'm sorry about the mix-up; darn jet-lag had me get to sleep at 8am. Not to mention, flyertalk wasn't working on the mobile phone (but on the laptop, 没问题).
Hope you were going to wait for a confirmation first.
In spite of this, would you want to try for tomorrow (8/25)? If you're up for eating at a Lanzhou lamian or Xinjiang place, that would be swell. Can't find that good stuff at home.
