Groovy areas, other exciting things?

Touristy - Summer Palace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Palace)
A delightful spot in north-west Beijing, with a large lake and great views across the area from the hill on the north side of the lake. This palace was where China's first ever telephone system was installed!

Evening entertainment - Start at The Den, a pub and restaurant popular with locals and expats alike, where you can get a pint of Caffreys! It is located at 4 Gongtidong Road Chao Yang District, Beijing (in the block immediately east of the Beijing Workers Stadium, in east-central Beijing). Use a search engine for more info, as there is plenty. There is a Hooters almost next door if you fancy that, too!

Leave the Den, turn right (north) and cross the big main east-west road (Workers Stadium North Road) in to the Sanlitun Village area. A veritable nest of little alleyways full of bars, clubs, outdoor eating stalls, and shops. Again, very popular with expats and locals, and seems to be vibrant all night. :ok:
