Weiqi Places In China

    Keywords: Clubs & Places

As a student of sinology I will have to opportunity to study one year in China (beginning in September '03). I've got [ext] a list of 88 universities all over the country to choose from. Since I am passionate weiqi player, I would of course like to go to a city where it is easy to find people to play with. Does anybody know whether there are certain regions where people do or don't play, or is it the same everywhere? If anybody knows more about one of the places on the list, I would love to hear about it.

Probably all of these cities will have weiqi centres. Most of the universities will have clubs. You might be best to contact the universities that you are interested in and ask them about their weiqi club.

Of the cities you mention I have only played weiqi in Beijing. It is fairly difficult to find the local clubs, but the bigger weiqi centres (eg Zhongguo Qiyuan and Beijing Qiyuan) are easy enough to find and from there you can make contacts.

I got from a friend the following address, not sure if it is correct.

Does anyone know where the wei qi clubs are in Beijing? I can't find any. I'm sure if I could read chinese I could find some, but...

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: 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.
