ONE WEEK IN BEIJING
In this one week in Beijing video, we share everything you need to know to enjoy 144 hours in Beijing. Including: how to get around Beijing, tips for visiting Beijing, planning a trip to Beijing guide, best things to see and do in Beijing, when to visit Beijing China and Beijing China travel tips.
Recommended VPN: Whilst living in China, we tried a few different VPN’s but found the most reliable to be Express VPN -
Things to do in Beijing:
Staying in a courtyard hotel:
Best places to stay in China:
The capital of China, Beijing is a fascinating city with lots to offer visitors. From amazing food, thousands of years of history and a unique culture, there are many reasons that Beijing should be on your Asia travel itinerary.
When to visit Beijing
China is a huge country so the weather in the North and South can be a big contrast throughout the year.
The best time to visit Beijing is from middle of April through to June and September to October.
The winter in Beijing can be bitterly cold, with temperatures reaching minus 15 degrees, with the pollution also running high from November to March. However, summer months are hot and busy in Beijing too.
Whilst planning your trip, you also need to avoid the Chinese national holidays - Golden Week runs during the first week of October and Chinese New Year lands around February, with a handful of long weekends throughout the year. If possible, aim to visit Beijing just after a national holiday; locals all go back to work and attractions and sites are much quieter.
How to get around Beijing
Beijing is a bustling city so the best way to get around is by using the Metro. Download the Beijing metro app to plan your trips around the city.
Also down the Didi App, this is China’s version of Uber and is easy to use. Taxis around the city are cheap but travel outside of rush hour to avoid traffic.
Things to do in Beijing
There are many things to do in Beijing so here are some of the best attractions and sites to visit:
Many people use Beijing as a base for their trip to the Great Wall of China. This iconic wall is definitely the number 1 thing to do in China and you can comfortably visit different sections of the Wall from Beijing. Book a driver and leave early to visit the wall at its quietest.
The Forbidden City is perhaps the most popular attraction in the city itself. This is a place complex and the former home of the Emperor of China from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is now home to the Palace museum and makes for a great way to spend a morning in Beijing. Head here for opening, this place gets busy quickly.
Whilst you are in Forbidden City, spend some time exploring Tiananmen Square. This square can accommodate a million people and carry a lot of history. Apart from the Forbidden City, you canals see the Monument to the People’s Heroes, the National Museum of China and the Mausoleum of Chairman Mao.
The beautiful Temple is another iconic place you should visit during your time in Beijing. This is seen as the most holy imperial temple in Beijing, with emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties using the Royal Alter for their worship.
Another must-see in Beijing is the hutongs - you can even stay in a courtyard hotel tucked away in hutongs for a unique travel experience. Either way, make sure you find some time during your week in Beijing to visit these narrow alleyways, full of tiny stores, street vendors and even the odd hidden bar.
Looking for a place to eat? Make sure you visit the food markets for some tasty local snacks but also try the famous Peking duck at one of the many restaurants in the city.
You may want to escape the crowds of Beijing and one great day trip is to visit to the city of Tianjin. This European influenced city offers an insight into modern local life in China so spend a day walking through the Italian Quarter, cruising along the river and visiting the quiet local temples.
Another fun thing to do in Beijing or in fact, anywhere in China, is a cooking class. Learn how to cook traditional Chinese dishes and visit a local market with your cooking host.
Visit the parks in the city and take in local life in China - with dancers, groups of elderly exercising together and locals playing Go: a Chinese board game played with black and white stones.
Only have a week in China? Split your time between Beijing and another one of the iconic cities. China has an excellent speed train network, meaning you can reach Xi’an, Shanghai or Chengdu in under 5 hours.
We hope you a have an amazing time in Beijing, let us know what your most excited for in the comments below.
Inside CHINA... (Not What You’d Expect) ????????
What is China really like? In 2023, China reopened and despite being told not to travel here, we travelled to Beijing for the first time. Flying in to China, we did not have many expectations from Beijing, or China more generally, but you hear A LOT about this country in western media. We've travelled to many places that have stereotypes & stigmas attached to them and China is no different, hopefully this video can expel a few of them for you, as it did for us. Welcome to Beijing, the capital of the Peoples Republic of China.

China Travel Guide - Tips & Things to Know Before Visiting China
To wrap up our China travel series, we're sharing our top China travel tips! We've broken down things to know before going to China into the following 4 categories:
1. General
2. Transportation
3. Food
4. Culture
When traveling to any foreign country especially for the first time, it's a good idea to get travel tips so you aren't caught in a bind when you get there - especially in a country like China where government rules and regulations are pretty tight and getting around isn't so straight forward especially if you can't speak/read Chinese.
We've made this China Travel Guide video about things you should know before going to help give an overview and prepare you for your China travel with some top tips, speaking all from our personal experiences.
In this China Travel Guide we cover details around things like:
- What apps are blocked in China?
- What are some useful mobile apps you should download before travelling to China?
- How safe is travelling in China?
- Where to get a sim card for China?
- What's the best way of getting around China?
- How to book high speed train tickets for China?
...and more! We also share some Chinese cultural norms so you don't get too big a culture shock when visiting China.
Traveling to China can be pretty daunting for foreigners especially if you can't speak or read he language (or you're not travelling with someone who can) so we hope our tips and China Travel Guide will make you feel a bit more prepared.
There are a lot of mixed messages out there about using VPNs in China (to get around blocked websites and apps). Some will say it's illegal and banned to use VPNs in China, others say it's not really a big deal.
So if you're wondering is it illegal to use a VPN in China?, the answer lies somewhere in the middle as it's a bit of a grey area therefore we encourage you to make your own conclusions on this topic. We can say that things definitely weren't made easy for us though due to the VPN service we used in China but at least we had a sim card that didn't have website restrictions which helped us immensely.
This is the sim card we ordered before travelling to China and had no issues with it at all except needing to be conscious of how much data we were using. Once the data limit was reached, it switched to a 3g network which was super slow! We found their live chat customer service very helpful with fast responses and you just need to make sure you allow enough time for delivery. They carry a few different sim card options so it's best to find one that suits your needs. For us, we needed just data for 2 months (no calls), so we got 2 of these to last us during our China trip:
[ UPDATE 2023: THIS SITE NO LONGER APPEARS ACTIVE UNFORTUNATELY ]
When going between cities, instead of flying, most of the time we were taking a high speed bullet train in China which we really enjoyed and found it a much better form of transport for domestic travel. We used this website to book all our train tickets beforehand and picked them up when we got to the train stations in China.
Despite the challenges that China has for foreign travelers especially outside of the bigger cities like Shanghai and Beijing, we highly recommend visiting China and seeing for yourself how incredible the country is. There is so much fascinating history, beautiful scenery and it's also a highly technologically advanced country in many ways. Just make sure you're clued up on things to know before travelling to China and you'll be sweet :)
Let us know what you think about our China travel guide and if you've got any questions (or suggestions) about tips for traveling in China. Happy travelling!

Beijing is the capital of China. It has a population of more than 20 million. The city is popular among tourists due to its close proximity to the Great Wall of China.
00:00 Intro
00:22 Tiananmen Square
A massive square next to the Forbidden City where you will find the Monument to the People's Heroes, the National Museum of China, the Great Hall of the People and the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong. The city square was the site of numerous significant events in Chinese history. Thousands of people visit this place everyday.
01:00 Forbidden City
The Forbidden City hosts 14 million visitors a year. A maximum of only 80,000 visitors are allowed each day. It is one of China's popular tourist attractions. This palace complex served as the home of 24 emperors during the Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty.
01:49 Dashilar Street
Dashilar Street is located near Qianmen station and just walking distance from Tiananmen Square. It is a popular shopping street where you can buy all sorts of items ranging from shoes and clothing to souvenirs and street food (rice stuffed dumplings, crab soup packets, potato tornado, candied hawthorns, kebab). Restaurants that serve the popular Peking duck can also be found here.
03:12 Peking Duck
The Peking duck is Beijing's most famous dish. It is traditionally carved by the chef in front of the diners. This dish has been enjoyed since the imperial era. The meat is often eaten with spring onion, cucumber and sweet plum sauce or hoisiin sauce with pancakes rolled around the fillings. Qǐng màn yòng!
04:03 Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China is often hailed as one of the great man-made wonders of the world. It served as a military defense to protect China's territories from invaders. It was built during the course of many centuries, from as early as the 7th century BC, by thousands of laborers. Watchtowers were built to transmit signals and monitor enemy movement. The Great Wall consists of different sections such as Badaling, Mutianyu and Jinshanling. We recommend Mutianyu as it is the most restored section. It is also generally less crowded compared to Badaling. This section of the Great Wall stretches along the mountain ridge and depicts a flying dragon! It also features beautiful scenery all year round. Flowers and greenery in spring and summer, red leaves in autumn and snow in winter. The Mutianyu section has numerous facilities that you can enjoy such as the cable car and chair lift. On your way down from the Great Wall, the Toboggan slide is a must-try!
