Hi, I will be travelling to Beijing in the 1st/2nd week of Sept for work, and beside work, Im looking to spend some leisure time hanging around. This will be my first trip to China, and due to the nature of my job, I will be travelling to Beijing and other cities too very often in the near future.

Ideally, I will love to do some volunteering work there, such as care for the animals or brightening up some kids day, or getting to know some villagers (if there's any).

In addition, it will be great if I can have the opportunity to make some friends, both locals and expats are welcome.

I crossing my fingers to see if there is any kind souls out there willing to explore the city with me?

Hello smurfzzz and welcome to 禁漫天堂!

For the volunteering work, you should post an advert in Beijing classifieds > community section/ Clubs, associations, volunteers.

It may help.

I hope that you will have a nice stay,
Harmonie.

Finally book my hotel which is beside Mei LanFang theatre, CheGongZhuang subway.

May I know how is the neighbourhood there? Is it safe to travel around in the night? And where is a good place for food around that area? Is that place considered central and convenient?
