Most meetings for the Beijing Alcoholics Anonymous group are held in our clubhouse in the Yuppie Mansions (yes, its real name) apartment building near the central Dongzhemin highway intersection and transport hub.
Major landmarks on the block are the Ginza Shopping Mall to the north, which has a McDonald's, and the towering Poly Theater complex to the south. The street is served by both the Dongzhemin and Dongsishitao subway stations.
Directly across the street from a large lighted sign that says "Eastgate Plaza Cinema", our clubhouse is on the 10th floor, room 1026, of the same building that has a cafe called "Hong Kong Delight's" on street level.
