[quote=LEMONCACTUS ,28851]No problem Eduguca,You certainly don't need to speak Chinese to enjoy Beijing. [Although I always think it's courtesy to learn 'hello', 'goodbye' and 'thankyou'.] California, of course, is totally right. You'll find English speaking Chinese working at most hotels and tourist attractions, as well as information in English. There are hawkers selling maps in English on every corner (you will hear them shouting "MAP, ENGLISH"!) and the metro and buses also have English commentary.A useful tip though is to pick up a business card from your hotel so that if you need to get back you can show it to a taxi driver.Have a brilliant trip.NB: I travelled alone to BJ for a week knowing very little Chinese and had no big problems, of course it's not quite as easy as getting around in your own country, but then, that's all part of the fun :)[/quote]
