Traveling to Beijing

[keendom]

I once played with nkiattin in Kerry Center, the court is very good. And it's convenient to get there by No. 1 subway.
BTW, I don't know siwai station. Do you live at east end of No. 1 subway or west end?

[Jasonvan]

i live by the last station on the east end... maybe I misspelled it... lol...

I work for a company in BJ,and got there every month. next time will be around the end of June.

sports center of Renmin University is my place of call.

I am currently living in the Haidian district near Beiwai and are there any badminton centers near by? My skill level is more or less at the intermediate level and can I go to Renmin Daxue to play?

[Sgt_Strider]

you know Chaoyang district is very big, it's better if you can tell me the specific location when you visit Beijing.

1st place, locates in the 2nd foreign language university, at east Chaoyang district. you can refer to http://www.citychinese.com/bbs3/disp...=278906&page=1 for more information

2nd place, 三元桥阳光球馆, at north Chaoyang district, please refer to http://bbs.sports.sina.com.cn/?h=/g_...3D4258&g=4&n=1 for contact info.

for equipment shop, please refer to http://www.bbesports.com/bdbc/index_aboutbbe_bj.htm

Will I find the best racquet prices at bbesports? Can I bargain there? It seems like bargaining is quite a natural thing to do in China.

can you leave your contact info?

Actually I'm more interested in the Beijing Olympics 2008 and wonder whether you know of any reasonable accommodation (budget hotels, hostels, etc) near the badminton venue that might still be available during the games.

You can find a price list on bbesports' website. They have two sets of prices. One for members and the other for non-members. Usually, there is a 10% difference. If you go to their store, you can get the member price. But they don't do bargaining.

I have friends' friends who sell racquets at Shou Du (Capital) Stadium. If you are interested, please let me know. I suppose you can find my email address.

Beiwai is quite close to Renmin Daxue. I don't see why you cannot play there.

Beiwai doesn't have any badminton courts. If you count the outdoor badminton court as a suitable place to play then you win. I'll add you to my MSN list.

RenMin University is very close to Beiwai. And there is lots of indoor badminton courts. You can find a club and join them.

I didn't know that Beiwai doesn't have any indoor courts. Bei Er Wai has pretty good courts. You can play in Renmin Daxue. What's your level? I started playing from 2001, but am still learning from my coach.

You can check out Beiwai yourself, but afaik it doesn't have any indoor badminton courts. I would consider myself to be an intermediate player.
