We run the GRB follow-up system at the Xinglong Observatory of National Astronomical Observatories of China since 2006, as part of the East-Asia GRB Follow-up Observation Network (EAFON). It mainly comprises of the 80-cm TNT and 1-m EST telescope, and can automatically respond to the GCN alerts. Both telescopes slew relatively fast, being able to point to a new target field within about 1 min upon a request. Whenever available, the 2.16-m NAOC telescope is also used. In 2006, the system responded to 15 GRBs and detected 7 early afterglows. Six GRBs have been detected in 2007 among the 18 follow-up observations. However, only 1 out of the so far 5 GRB observations in 2008 were triggered in the early phase, probably because the current Swift pointing strategy does not favor near real-time follow-up in East Asia.
