Is anyone familiar with the Beijing White Pear? I am having a hard time finding information on this. I have a Chinese friend who said these were very popular in China.

It is a particular kind of asian pear - 北京白梨 in Chinese I think. Here is a picture:

Here is a (bad!) Google translation of a description:

Beijing Boli taste tender, it is of less high sugar content, especially the late-maturing, the distinctive fragrance of gas, and surrounding provinces by the middle Boli, skin roughness large, water-resistant storage and transportation, however Fresh tasteless.

I don't know if we have this variety in the states but I doubt it.
