Use 114china.com to get the telephone number of any business. If you don't understand Chinese, then you unfortunately can't use it, but ask someone like a colleague or secretary to assist you. It has saved me so many times since bars, restaurants, and even theatres sometimes change contact details often and the Chinese sources get the changes before foreign sources do!
