Beijing Jade Youth Hostel reviews

very impressed with the staff especially the manager always friendly and helpful If I came back to Beijing I would definitely stay here again

Staff was very helpful and room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant was good! Within walking distance of the Forbidden City, National Museum, etc. Map provided when booking was helpful in directing the taxi driver to the location.

Staff spoke decent English, front office open 24/7. Not too hard to find (I took a cab, 120rmb from the airport around 5pm). Mixed dorm room was pretty nice. Only complaint is they had cabinets in the mixed dorm room but no locks, though they said they’ll watch my stuff behind the desk if I want. Overall great experience!

my friend recommend this hostel , but I saw the previous review are not very good . However we found that there is so much change than reviews when we arrived , they change a new team ,the overall service and cleaness is perfect , there is a new bar have many good food . thanks all staff here give me a good trip in Beijing .

Lucky Family Hostel Beijing Reviews

Comfortable and good location

The staff was helpful and the room was comfortable. Wifi was strong on the first floor but weakened as you moved up to the third flood. There was a breakfast each morning which consisted of coffee, tea, oj, and thick toast. Location is very good and near many restaurants.

The hostel is down a couple of alleys, but still remarkably easy to find. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent. Easy walk tot he metro station.

The minute we stepped out of the cab, we felt as if we stepped into a kung fu movie. It was so cool to go through the alleys (hutong) and try to find our way.

While having a walk in downtown Beijing there is one building that stands out from the rest in a particular fashion. After visiting the Forbidden Palace, head your way to the Temple of Heaven of Tiantandongmen station of metro line 5. A walk through the beautiful heavenly garden will fill your senses with tradition but after wondering to the streets there is a bright red building that is difficult not to notice.

It’s the spectacular Red Theatre building, home to the even more spectacular Kung Fu Show Beijing venue. It is the pride of the city and extremely popular amongst travelers of all kinds. This is the show not to missed even if you are a hardcore backpacker!

Filled with excitement and marvelous martial arts, the production is of extremely high quality. This is not some tourist trap, besides you can get a big slice off the ticket price by visiting the Red Theatre Beijing website (link above). All you have to do is to fill in a booking form with your details and voila, you are ready to go.

The production is best explained with pictures (which I ripped off from their site):

Full of light, dazzling effects, dance this Kung Fu Show just hits the spot in an entertaining and enlightening way! It tells a story about a young boy who grows up to become a true Kung Fu master. On the path to enlightenment he faces many difficulties that are overcome with stunning visual effects. Visit the Red Theatre of Beijing and go on a ride to the historical martial artistic roots of China!

Como todos saben, me encanta la “vida espectáculo”. Es similar a los juegos, porque los shows son espectaculares y genial para ver. También yo puedo imaginar como soy un ejecutante, en el escenario!!

Hace poco vi esta revisión de un espectáculo maravilloso en la ciudad de Beijing. Voy a pegarlo aquí, lo siento es en Inglés. Pero creo que todo el mundo ya puede hablar un poco de Inglés hoy en día!

Y todo lo que puedo decir es que es tan tan muy super cool. Espero que te lo gusta también.

For all the kung fu game fans, there is a way to experience the action first hand all with the comfort of a theatre seat. The Red Theatre Kung Fu Show, is a world renowned venue in the heart of Beijing. The stunts are phenomenal and not just realistic but real. Their game, becomes you game as the stage shouts out loud to the crowd. Coming to Beijing to experience the delights of martial arts gaming.

Me puse muy emocionado cuando vi esto. Es una pena que yo no sabía nada de él durante mi última visita en China. La vez cuando vi el espectáculo acrobático. (Si requerdas?) Pero me gusta pensar en positivo. Esto significa que tengo una razón más para volver a Beijing! Espero ganar muchos partidos para obtener el dinero para ir allí. Tu sabes!

Como siempre, disfruta mis fotos.

Gracias,
Max.

We cycled up to the Great Wall to the finish line which was our final steep climb. I’m amazed I managed today as I went to bed without dinner last night as I was feeling nausea. There was no way I was getting on that bus or walking up the climb! The atmosphere was awesome and the scenery stunning. After being awarded our medals and having a photo shoot we then climbed up the Great Wall!!! Jelly legs for sure!

There are such a variety of people here all ages, shapes and sizes. Some are cancer survivors, some have knee replacements, one lost 8 stone in a year to be able to do this and the list goes on. I’m in awe of the courage these ladies have to take on such a mammoth challenge and it confirms that there are no excuses, we all can do it!

At each event there is a charity rep and this time she represented the ovarian cancer charity. She gave us a talk to illustrate the difference your donations make. 30 years ago the survival rate for breast cancer was around 30% and now it’s around 80% and that’s due to research which can happen because of the financial support we give. Unfortunately for ovarian cancer survival rates are much lower as they are so far behind. Only since 2007 have they been able to start educating us AND doctors about confirmed recognisable symptoms due to research which is very slowly starting to make a difference. This year they’ve been able to invest £1m of our money into UK research and organise experts from around the world to start working in collaboration. So know that your donations will make a massive difference to future generations for family and friends.

We are in Beijing now back amongst the smog! We’re feeling a little tender but have nothing to complain about considering what we have achieved.

I’m doing these on my mobile so apologise for typos and upside down pictures!

Thanks for everyone’s support!
