Q: Where to meet people in Beijing?

I'm not into clubbing, bars, or art galleries that much.  But sometimes I feel like that can be the only way to meet people here (I've checked the Beijinger and sometimes that's all I find).  I like hiking and sports, but I don't want to shell out 1,000 RMB each time to hike a mountain.  Where do you go to meet new people in Beijing?

Ya, as @Brisguy says, joining a sports club is a good way. There are a few good rugby clubs (if that's your thing). Aound the gulou area are some low key, relaxed bars (even though you said that isn't your thing) where you can easily meet people. Going to a backpackers is also good but the people you meet there are usually just here short-term so they'll be leaving soon. Another way is to look up when couch surfing meetings are held (usually once a month) and the people there are always really nice, and open to meeting new people. Not really my thing, but church is a good place to if you're so inclined. Another good way is to sign up for Chinese language classes. There you'll also meet a lot of foreigners in a similar position to yourself. Almost all the people I know here now I met while I was studying Chinese at a university in Wudaokou for the first 18 months I was here. Also, if you're into sports try finding a sports bar where you can watch sport and meet people with a similar interest.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
