How to get to this year's Hot & Spicy Festival
This year's Hot & Spicy Fest is once again taking place in a venue we're now very familiar and fond of: Zaha Hadid's swooping, warren-like building, Chaoyangmen's Galaxy Soho (银河Soho in Chinese).
Located just a hop, skip, and a jump from central Beijing, Galaxy Soho is a breeze to get to whether you're coming from the north, south, east, or west (to be honest, it's pretty hard to miss).
If you're planning to get there by taxi, you can ask your driver to take you to 银河Soho (yínhé soho) or 朝阳门桥西南角 (cháoyángmén qiáo xīnánjiǎo, literally "the southwest corner or Chaoyangmen bridge").
This year we've partnered with DiDi's
English version (DiDi EN) to provide attendees with a discount on rides
to this weekend's event. To receive 10 percent off your next DiDi Express ride (or RMB 8 off for new users), simply go here: z.didi.cn/hotnspicy
(or scan/extract the QR code below), enter your phone number and accept
your gift coupon (if you don't yet have DiDi EN, you'll be prompted to
download and install). The QR code below also contains the full
instructions. Want more discounts? DiDi EN riders in Beijing will get up
to 30 percent off when they call an Express this Friday through Sunday.
Come hungry and ready to party!
Finally, to get you in the mood for our big event, you can read about the entertainment, vendors, and general spice related content here. For now, rest up, cleanse your mind of all bad thoughts, and drink plenty of milk. We look forward to seeing you all this weekend!
