Beijing Resources

So you're traveling to Beijing.  I wish you a safe, successful and enjoyable trip to this fascinating city.  In 2008, I spent four months teaching and studying at Tsinghua University School of Law. The best advice I can offer is to be patient and flexible.  Things in Beijing and in China may take longer than you are used to, but in most cases they will get done nonetheless.  Below are resources and links you might find helpful.  If there's something you'd like to see, please feel free to let me know.
