Beijing Twestival - Last Call and Driving Instructions
Posted on: 10 February 2009 at 2223 - Comment
In case you haven’t signed up for our Twestival — this is your last call! Sign up here on Facebook.
Instructions are further below.

Urban Backyard is shown with the pointing hand on the map above.

Chengfu Road (成府路). This is where Urban Backyard is located.

The crossing with Qinghua South Road (清华南路). Westbound traffic must U-turn here to reach Urban Backyard.

Urban Backyard (都市后院). Somewhat dwarfed by the neighboring Secret Garden (五方院).
As promised, the driving instructions to the Beijing Tweetup:
BY TAXI — Tell the driver to take you to the Secret Garden Cafe (Wu Fang Yuan 五方院). Tell him or her it’s on the southern side of Chengfu Road, just east of the T-crossing with Qinghua South Road. Exit at Secret Garden Cafe and head to a slightly less well-signposted Urban Backyard (都市后院), which is just next to the Secret Garden Cafe.
BY CAR — If you’re heading west from Peking University, head east onto Chengfu Road and enter the side road immediately after the crossing with Qinghua South Road. If you’re heading east from the Line 13 Subway stop, continue west until the crossing with Qinghua South Road, then flip around — do a U-turn — and enter the side road (don’t flip back on the main road).
Either way, you should now be spotting something to your right hand side. Slow down when you see the words Secret Garden Cafe, since it’s a huge sign.
You see the Secret Garden Cafe? Now head to a slightly less well-signposted Urban Backyard (都市后院), which is just next to the Secret Garden Cafe. You should continue a door ahead (i.e. east).
BY SUBWAY — Line 13 has a stop at Wudaokou (地铁五道口站). Take a cab or if you wish, walk (it’s about 10 to 15 minutes). Exit from Wudaokou station’s exit B, as it’s probably closer and you’ll be on the correct (i.e. south) side of the road. Follow the instructions if taking a cab; otherwise, walk as far west until you see both Urban Backyard and the Secret Garden Cafe. It should be very close to Lanqiying bus stop (see below).
BY BUS — You’re looking at Lanqiying bus stop (蓝旗营公交车站) here, which is served by (at least!) Routes 307, 331, 355, 375, 628, 656, 690, 731, 743 and Yuntong 110.
BY TWEETS — Sorry, we don’t seem to support TPS (tweet positioning systems) at this point. Try again at the next Twestival.
