I loved Beijing. I only had time to spend two days there which was a pity. I felt very safe. I did not so much like the Dinghe hostel, which had no atmosphere. I did really like my visit to the Great Wall of China at Jinshanling. And I can also recommend the three stone kite shop, where you can buy crazy beautiful hand made kites! Besides that I took a lot of metro’s, enjoyed the 798 art scene and wandered the streets.

I worked in Beijing for a year and I loved living here. I don’t like the job but the city is amazing. Food is affordable, Didi (their taxi version) is affordable and fast, payment is convenient. So many things are extremely convenient but you need to know the system. It’s not friendly to tourists unless you have an insider due to the blocking of majority of western owned apps hence VPN is a must or you could use roaming. Although you still need a local number to get a lot of things here like buying tickets.
Posted: August 23, 2024My trip to Beijing was amazing. Highlights included hiking the Great Wall, exploring the historic Forbidden City, and enjoying the serene Summer Palace. The food was delicious, from Peking duck to street snacks. The blend of ancient and modern made it unforgettable.

A 24-hour stop in Beijing, but enough to get to know the city. I was unlucky to be in a heavy smog, but nevertheless the walk was beautiful. A big plus is low prices, the staff at the hotel / restaurant / store speak English and a convenient and understandable metro, minus very long distances, from point A to point B, you need to walk from 30 minutes to an hour (although it seems close on the map), strong smog, without a normal VPN, you can not get to the Internet. An interesting experience, I would be glad to return to China again)

Beijing is the capital of China. It is a big city. There is a lot of history in Beijing. There are a few attractions. The Great Wall of China, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, jade street market etc. My favorite is the Great Wall. You may not know there are more than one Great Wall.
Posted: October 14, 2023Experienced: December, 2019I went alone to Beijing in July. The subway there is fantastic and easy to understand. I didn't have any problems, I wasn't worried about safety. I loved watching the giant pandas at the local zoo, the Summer Palace was great. I practically visited everything, except the Great Wall of China, by subway. The Great Wall is the only thing for which I booked a tour. The most important tip is to get a VPN before leaving, which will allow you to use things like Google and Facebook when you're there.

you can walk lonely on the street at any time, no robbery, very few theft, havent heard of rape. there maybe beggers just ignore them, homeless people are usually sent back to their home town by police, so its rare too.
Posted: July 13, 2024Very safe city - I’ve been walking at night since teenage life and never had issues. I would recommend solo famale to consider this city as it is safe and easy to get around. Also more people in Beijing speak English than other Chinese regions.

Hi! I’ve always worked behind a desk and I have to say that I love my profession but after 30 years, I felt that I was missing something and after thinking a lot about it I decided be bold, quit my job and go for it … not knowing how to start I decided to focus on what I love the most …traveling !
