Yeah, I noticed that too - its miles away. Also they seem to give a very conservative estimate of how much an optometrist checkup costs. I paid like ... 1600 RMB to have a torch flashed in my eyes for a couple of minutes.

Mind you, I didn't use the new 2009 Insider's Guide, that was a couple of months ago.

I could check the address in the new guide when I get home but ... probably won't be bothered to be honest.

Easier just to blame Admin.

Hi - thanks for the feedback. The new address is in the new 2009 edition of the IG (p407), which just came out. The location changed happened between updates, so all the more reason to get a new copy (you can email distribution@truerun.com for ordering info and distribution locations).

You'll also find an expat friendly article about handling emergency situations on the following page.

Nice...you publish a wrong location and then ask us to order a new copy??? You should distribute a free copy to exchange with the one containing the mistake!!!

Yes, to clarify: SOS, until last year, was located just north of Sanlitun in a complex shared with Volvo. They moved to the new location last summer (if I recall correctly), hence the updated address in the new 2009 edition.

If you stay in Beijing long enough, you will notice that things open up, close down and change locations at an extremely quick pace.
