What is the best District to Stay in in Beijing?
I'm looking at hotels in the Dongcheng district as well as around the Olympic Green. Is one area better for tourists? What is there to do in February around the Olympic Green? We're three architecture students staying for a week.

- Beijing Continental Grand Hotel sits next to the bird's nest, you can see it from the window of your washroom. However, I don't think ￥1000+/per day is a suitable price for students. Chaoyang District may be better, you'd have to deal with lotsa traffic jam if you live in Dongcheng.
- I would prefer to stay at DaZhaLan Hutong area, just opposite QianMen station, you can walk to train station, Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and Antingmen cultural street
- Student like hanging out in the 5DK, while older expats prefer the 3LT scene. 3LT also has all the best nightclubs and is in the center of town, whereas 5DK is way out in the sticks. Just depends on your taste.
