Group travel

I u don't visit the great wall. You aren't a true man. This phrase is very famous Here, so try to go to the great wall during your trip to Beijing . I also recommend to visit the forbidden city and the Summer Palace

Group travel

I was in Beijing with my friend and her husband during 144-hour transit, we were able to shop and visit Universal, Great Wall of China. I haven't tried Chinese cuisine before this trip, so I suffered a bit but the overall experience was okay. Food was quite cheap especially domestic ones. Housing was on the expensive side, of our budget. The Beijing metropolitan was really nice and comfy. As we were in transit we were not allowed to go outside Hebei district. But it was quite okay.

Solo travel

Being able to speak Mandarin would reallyyyy help. But if not, i have seen folks survive on Google Translate and VPN. Use Alipay and WeChat Pay for public transport, texi, food, everything really. I use Trip.com for hotels and high speed trains.

Beijing is an incredibly safe place. The crime rate is very low and I have never experienced any sexual harassment or any dangers when walking alone after dark. It’s one of the only places I’ve been to where I will freely walk alone after dark with my phone out and not need to worry. People are very friendly and helpful.

You can go to every where in the evening! Don’t worry about be stolen or other safety issues! You can by taxi everywhere , because all the cars have been in the police system! And the local people is much more rich and will not to be bothered foreigners.

A really safe country, lived here 10 years and never felt unsafe. Walk alone home at night with no issues, also traveling around the country is safe. Lots of cameras if needed. Taxi apps have safety features like send to a friend and audio recording so use the DiDi app
