Beijing Go Club
The Beijing Go Club now (August 2013) meets every Tuesday night from roughly 7:30 to midnight at a cafe near Dong Si station downtown. Details are on the website. Check out http://beijinggoclub.com for updated information. It's within 10 minutes by taxi from most of the city, so give it a shot!
We have about 10-15 people weekly during the summer, from kgs 6d to beginners, plus a few pros/near pros stop by sometimes. We're about half local / half foreign and everyone is welcome. We also have some really good teachers & welcome beginners to come play or just watch. There are also lots of international visitors stopping by during the summer for conferences or traveling. So come by and say hello!
New players are highly encouraged and supported here. For more information, please visit http://www.beijinggoclub.com/

Chengdu
For CHENGDU, I invite everybody to take contact with me, because it's quite difficult to explain this briefly here!
Some information on my blog too: http://Chengduweiqicenter.blog4ever.com
my email: maxmillot@freesurf.ch.
There are many places (like 20 at my knowledge)but all quite remote and moving sometimes. The biggest is in the center of the town beside the holliday inn.
nelssonI think I found this.. It's in the center, just on the street behind the Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza (a very big luxurious hotel). It can be quite hard to find though, since the entrance is small and looks pretty much like a restaurant (when I got there they were actually selling food on the entrance). No entrance fee, 100RMB deposit for a board and stones, tea 5RMB, refilling the cup is free. Oh.. It's just next to a barber shop, good luck finding it. :)
_ ikktomuseyokkis: I traveled all over China for a year. Chengdu, with its teahouse/weiqi culture, its fondness for traditional characters and a way of life that predates the cultural revolution, was by far the best city I saw for playing go. I loved my time in that city and would happily live there any day, though family matters keep me elsewhere.

- there's another one which I might visit today, only got directions until now,
near fujian beilu/zhonglu, east of Zheijiang zhonglu, north of Fuzhou lu,
not yet a proper address
Did some walking around yesterday. 809 Changde Road is now a construction site. The park opposite Jing An Temple was interesting, but no wei qi this time. I have seen a few people playing wei qi in the SE corner of the park on other days, but yesterday only Chinese chess and card games.
