Some of the shops in Nanluoguxiang are a bit expensive, so why not go to the market for a stroll? 🛍️ - Choose the subway for airport transportation. It's fast, cheap, and not congested. Remember to check the timetable. 🕰️ - Take photos at Tiananmen Square. There are fewer people at sunrise, and the light is softer for better photos. 🌅 - Try some old Beijing snacks, but don't overdo it. They may be a bit sweet or salty. 🍢 - Book tickets for the Great Wall in advance to avoid the crowds and enjoy the spectacular scenery. 🏞️ / I hope this guide will help you have a more enjoyable trip to Beijing.
