Sculpting in Time (Diaoke Shiguang)
This was once Beijing's most famous film cafe, but it lost that niche to Box Cafe when it moved from its location in a charming (now demolished)hutongeast of Peking University. Now at the Beijing Institute of Technology, it seldom shows films but is still popular with students, foreign and Chinese both. A second branch south of the main entrance to Fragrant Hills Park (tel.010/8529-0040), has a pleasant remoteness and a large outdoor deck with views of the park, while the largest branch, just west of Wudaokou metro stop (tel.010/8286-7025), has less charm but is handy to the university district. All serve adequate coffee and Western snacks, and have wireless Internet. Open daily from 9am to 12:30am
