Just relocated here 2 weeks ago
I have a few friends living in Beijing. Pre-Covid, I used to go 3-5 times a year.
I can hook you up with my friends but 2 of them (couple + baby) are moving to Shanghai soon.
The rest of my other friends have been in Beijing for many years. Don't think they are looking for new friends or people to hang out with. One of them is a native with his family.
