Badminton Haidian

[ChTTay]

Anyone play (or played) Badminton in Haidian district, Beijing?

 

I live and work around ZhongGuanCun. I was originally planning to play at Tsinghua University (where I used to study).

 

However, I was told recently there is always a long waiting list - up to 2 weeks. I've tried searching online (in English) but haven't had much luck that way either.

 

The Capital Gymnasium pops up quite a lot but it seems a bit far.

 

Can anyone recommend a good place to play? Can I just turn up?

Also a bit far, next to Nanluoguxiang, is 什刹海体校, here http://goo.gl/maps/bwr67 When I've played it's always been on a weekend and reservation has been necessary.

Hello,

 

I suggest you can visit http://ball.damai.cn/.     It‘s a venue booking website for badminton.Though still in Chinese,you can ask your Chinese friends for help.

I used to play a lot of badminton when I was studying at Tsinghua. It is true that you have to book the courts pretty early, but you can also try other universities. I also went to Peking Uni. and China university of geosciences. Beijing sports university is also a good place, and near that along xinxi road on the left if coming from the south there was a huge commercial badminton hall. Dont know if it is still there.
