Beijing travel tips for first time visitors
By SANETRAVELLER | 12/10/2024 11:40:31 PM

Beijing is a dynamic city that blends rich history with modern development, offering a unique experience for first-time visitors. To make the most of your trip, it’s helpful to learn some basic Mandarin phrases like "hello" (你好 - Nǐ hǎo) and "thank you" (谢谢 - Xièxiè), as this will assist in communication with locals. The city's public transportation system, especially the Beijing Subway, is efficient and affordable, though taxis may have language barriers, so it's good to have your destination written in Chinese. Be prepared for occasional air pollution, especially in winter, and consider wearing a mask on days with poor air quality. While mobile payment platforms like WeChat Pay and Alipay are widely used, it’s still important to carry cash for small purchases. Key attractions like the Forbidden City, Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, and the Summer Palace are must-see landmarks. Make sure to try local food such as Peking Duck, dumplings, and Jianbing. Stay connected with a local SIM card and use a VPN for accessing blocked websites. Lastly, respect local customs, especially when visiting religious sites, and dress modestly.

Trouble getting refund for IC card at T3 airport

I could not get a refund of my transportation card, IC card at the T3 terminal at beijing airport. The card showed incomplete information. I would suggest getting a refund at other bus stations. I didn't investigate any further because i had to catch my return flight

I had a very enjoyable evening here when I went. The food is Zheijang style and therefore was very fresh. We ordered tofu hot pot that was delicious and warming in the freezing weather! The restaurant also has a Western dessert menu, we ate a tasty creme brulee. It is also located in the Workers Stadium so was very easy to get to from our hotel....much recommended!

China is no doubt a country with rich history and lots of things to see. I travel back and forth from England to China work related and unfortunately haven't had the time to enjoy it but I'm considering going there on a vacation so the information was really useful.Thank you for sharing. I've only been to Beijing so far and it's an amazing city.And speaking of travel tips the only thing I don't like about it is that I often have problems with the last minute bookings and realized that I have to call to confirm my reservation. It might be pricey so I use a call service which provides cheap calls to China. Its fast, cheap and easy to use.

Great Wall of China

Whatever you do, and wherever you go, make sure you visit at least one part of The great wall of China.
I have now been to Badaling, North wall, Jinshanling and Simatai, and hope to see Yangquan wall closer than simply from the street.
The great Wall is something you must not miss....its amazing
