Arriving at Day time
Upon taking your seat, show the driver this text: 北京语言大学 (Běijīng Yǔyán Dàxué), it means Beijing Language and Culture University. There is another school nearby with a similar name, so be sure you say it's in 五道口(WuDaoKou).
As you can see on the Beijing Language and Culture University Map (sent to you along with the admission notice), the school has 3 gates. The East Gate (Main Gate) or 东门 (Dōng mén), the South Gate or 南门 (Nán mén) and the West Gate 西门(Xi mén). So check beforehand where your dormitory or apartment is closest to, and ask the driver to take you to that gate.
Remember to wait for the driver to go down and open the back compartment before leaving the seats, the driver might forget you put your stuff there and leave immediately --- and that would be a nightmare!
Arriving at Midnight
It's quite odd how I always get to experience things the hard way! My friends and I arrived in Beijing at around 12 midnight and we were so tired that we couldn't bear staying up at the airport for 6 hours waiting for morning to arrive. So, in my honest opinion, arriving during the day would have been much easier.
Nevertheless, if you arrive at midnight, you can proceed to ask the Customer service area for a hotel to stay. The staff can understand a little English so if you want a cheap one, you can inform them. Since we were asking for the cheapest one, we were directed to this small and shabby hotel around 10 minutes away from the airport. It was merely livable, but it got us through the night. We spent around 300 rmb, 100 RMB is the commission for the airport and the other 200 RMB paid upon reaching the hotel. You will be guided to the free airport van, and the van will take you there. Make sure you request the airport personnel to take you back to the airport early in the morning so you can go back to the airport and ride a taxi. But you may also call for a taxi from your hotel.

ReplyDeleteHello Kababayan!:) Thanks for your question. I have heard about existent agencies that will process everything for you. I think blcu.org is one of them (although their site looks like it's the official BLCU webpage). There will be additional fees though.
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I applied by ourselves online. It's actually not that difficult. You can read the details on how we applied on my previous post: http://myblcublog.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-apply-in-blcu.html
