2025 Beijing Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

📍Itinerary Introduction Day 1️⃣—MUJI Hotel➡️Jingshan➡️Shichahai ❇️Capital Airport Line👍 Take the Airport Line from the airport and transfer to another line. Muji is right opposite Qianmen Station. It is convenient and there is no traffic jam. The fare is 25 yuan, and those under 1.3 meters are free. ❇️Jingshan I originally planned to climb the mountain to see the Forbidden City, and the guide said that I could quickly reach the top by entering from the west gate~ 💣Took a taxi from the hotel, the driver said there was a restriction and we could only park nearby, so we drove around for half an hour and got off the car and drove for nearly an hour before we arrived at Jingshan😮💨 ❇️Shichahai The original plan was to have dinner at Shichahai and stroll around, but it turned out to be the driver's favorite Old Beijing Shabu Shabu 💣We took a taxi from Jingshan to Shichahai, and the driver said it was under control, and asked if we wanted to eat. He kept introducing Old Beijing Shabu Shabu, and asked him to stop at the nearest subway station. He also said that we couldn't get in after queuing for half an hour at the subway station, so we ended up going to Shabu Shabu😡 💣The soup base of the shabu shabu is spicy, and it costs 50 yuan to switch to clear soup😒, you know the taste 🙂↕️, then I read the comments and found that there were many people who had the same experience as us😮💨 Day 2️⃣ Great Hall of the People➡️Tiananmen➡️National Grand Theater➡️Dashilan➡️Four Seasons Folk Entertainment ❇️All attractions around Tiananmen Square require reservations. It is easy to make reservations for the National People's Congress and the square. If you can't make reservations for the National Museum, just buy exhibition tickets. It is very difficult to make reservations for the city tower. The above are all just following the crowd. The security check takes nearly an hour. It will be faster if you don’t bring a bag‼ ️Remember to bring your ID card‼ ️ ❇️National Grand Theatre👍 Direct subway access, free performances and explanations, architectural design, few people to take photos Day 3️⃣ Mutianyu Great Wall➡️Bird's Nest & Water Cube➡️Yuxiandu➡️Youbang Hotel ❇️ Mutianyu Great Wall 👍 There are few people and beautiful scenery. Take the cable car to No. 14 and then go to No. 6 to play on the slide. It's quite fun! ❇️Yuxiandu👍 Palace banquet, several hours of time travel, makeup, performances, atmosphere~ ❇️Beijing Youbang Hotel In Haidian District, the new hotel is clean and has family rooms~ Day 4️⃣ Summer Palace ➡️Tsinghua University ➡️Wukesong Business District ❇️Summer Palace 🧑🧑🧒🧒There are so many people that it is difficult to take a photo. Please ask the tour guide to explain, professional and high-quality👍 ❇️Tsinghua University Appointment is required. For Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan documents, please send an email to make an appointment. 🧑🧑🧒🧒Wait for one hour to enter, please ask the students in school to explain Day 5️⃣Return home 💡Notes: 🔺Make appointments for attractions in advance, don’t schedule too many times, and leave time for queuing 🔺Taxi is a lot of work and there are traffic jams. If you take the bus, the hotel should be close to the subway station. 🔺All those internet-famous streets are pretty much the same, with roast duck, preserved fruits, and fridge magnets... #BeijingAttractions #BeijingTravel #GreatBeijingAttractionsJingshanPark #SummerPalace #BeijingGoodPlaces

Traveling to Beijing was truly a bittersweet experience 😭 I didn't plan my route in advance, so when I arrived in Beijing, I was like a headless fly, wanting to go here one moment and there the next, resulting in wasting most of my time on the road. I also didn't check the opening hours of attractions beforehand, so I traveled all that way only to find they were closed—it was heartbreaking. Plus, I randomly picked a restaurant near a tourist site to eat, and the food was both expensive and terrible—I was completely miserable. But! Beijing is amazing, with deep historical heritage and a strong modern vibe. There are so many delicious foods and fun activities that you can never explore enough! Here's how to enjoy Beijing in May without any regrets~ Day 1: Arrive in Beijing → Sanlitun → Taste Beijing snacks Arrive in Beijing in the morning. I recommend choosing Beijing Capital International Airport as it's close to the city center with convenient transportation. Take the airport express train and transfer to the subway to your hotel. Staying near Xidan is ideal—transportation is convenient with everything you need in one place 🐉. After dropping off your luggage, visit Sanlitun for some shopping. It's fashionable and lively, filled with trendy shops and beautiful people, plus plenty of Instagram-worthy photo spots 📸. When you get tired, try some Beijing snacks like "baodu" (tripe) and "luzhu" (braised offal). They're delicious and will instantly make you fall in love with the city's vibrant atmosphere. Day 2: Tiananmen Square → Forbidden City → Jingshan Park Get up early, leaving around 4 AM to watch the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square. In May, the sun rises early, so arrive early to get a good spot. Remember not to bring lighters, selfie sticks, etc., as security is strict. After the ceremony, you can visit the Memorial Hall to pay respects to Chairman Mao (dress appropriately and remain quiet). Next, visit the Forbidden City. Arrive before 9 AM to see the three main halls along the central axis before the tour groups arrive. Get an audio guide to better understand the history and stories of the palace. After exiting the Forbidden City, go to Jingshan Park. Enter through the side gate, and within 10 minutes of climbing the stairs, you'll reach Wanchun Pavilion, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the Forbidden City. Day 3: Badaling Great Wall → Olympic Park In the morning, take subway Line 2 to Jishuitan Station, exit from Gate A or B, and walk to Deshengmen Bus Station. Take bus 877 directly to Badaling Great Wall (fare: 12 yuan). Once at the Great Wall, I recommend hiking up for the best experience of its magnificence, though cable cars are available if you get tired. Be sure to visit Haohan Slope for a photo op. Standing on the beacon tower and looking into the distance gives you an incredible sense of achievement. In the afternoon, return from the Great Wall and visit Olympic Park to see the Bird's Nest and Water Cube. During the day, you can admire their unique architectural designs, and at night when they're lit up, the red Bird's Nest and blue Water Cube create a beautiful contrast for photos. There are many food courts nearby where you can treat yourself to a nice meal. Day 4: Summer Palace → Old Summer Palace → Tsinghua and Peking Universities (photo stops) From your hotel, take subway Line 4 to Beigongmen Station and enter the Summer Palace through the North Palace Gate to avoid crowds. First, take a boat ride to the Stone Boat, enjoying the lake breeze and scenery along the way—it's incredibly relaxing. Then walk along the Long Corridor, where each painting has a story behind it. Listen to the audio guide while viewing them—it's fascinating. You can climb up to the Tower of Buddhist Incense for a panoramic view of the entire Summer Palace, but there are many stairs, so wear comfortable shoes. Exit from the East Gate of the Summer Palace, then take a taxi (about 15 yuan) to the Old Summer Palace. Enter through the East Gate, which is close to the Western Mansions ruins, and visit the Grand Waterworks ruins to experience the historical changes. Afterward, go to Tsinghua University's West Gate and Peking University's East Gate for photos. Although you can't enter the campuses, it's still nice to experience the atmosphere of these top universities from the gates. Day 5: Temple of Heaven Park → Return Home In the morning, visit the Temple of Heaven Park. Buy the 34-yuan combo ticket and enter from the South Gate. First, go to the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests—the morning light is perfect for photographing the red walls and blue tiles. Be sure to experience the Echo Wall too; standing at specific spots, you can actually hear echoes from the opposite side—it's magical. After touring the Temple of Heaven, enjoy a traditional Beijing hot pot meal nearby with freshly sliced lamb and sesame sauce—it's absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to your Beijing trip. After the meal, pack your bags and prepare for your return journey.

It was my first time at Migas Mercado and it completely lived up to the hype. Located on the rooftop of China World Mall, it offers stunning views of Beijing’s skyline, especially gorgeous at sunset. We ordered the T-bone steak to share, and it was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and generous in portion. The tapas were also a highlight, fresh ingredients, great variety, and ideal for sharing. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, with a great mix of locals and expats. Whether you’re visiting for date night, dinner with friends, or drinks with a view, Migas hits the mark on food, atmosphere, and service. You can DM the restaurant on IG to make reservations prior coming to get table outside right by where those photos were taken. #beijing #dateideas #foodie

Heyuan Zhixin Courtyard is a three-section siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) originally built during the Ming Dynasty. After 600 years, it still preserves the layout and charm of traditional northern Chinese residences. In the mid-20th century, it was one of the residences of Mei Lanfang, the grand master of Beijing Opera, with every brick and tile soaked in the artistic atmosphere of cultural celebrities. Today, after professional restoration, the courtyard maintains its ancient architectural style while incorporating modern livable design. It strictly follows the traditional Beijing courtyard regulations of "ceiling, fish tank, and pomegranate tree," with three successive courtyards creating a rare "living cultural heritage" in the core Wangfujing area. All guest rooms offer a "small but exquisite" luxury experience. Courtyard suites feature private yards and are furnished with Ming and Qing style furniture and custom bedding. Themed rooms celebrate "Mei School Beijing Opera" and "Hutong Memories," with walls decorated with hand-painted opera costumes or old Beijing maps. Family rooms preserve the original wooden sloped ceiling structure with skylights bringing in natural light, perfect for families with children. All rooms are equipped with King Koil mattresses, BOSE sound systems, and handcrafted intangible cultural heritage toiletry sets, with some rooms featuring private soaking tubs. Breakfast is served in the courtyard, featuring traditional Beijing specialties including douzhir (fermented mung bean milk), jiaoquan (fried ring-shaped dough), and sugar-oil cake, with Western light meals also available. Afternoon tea includes Beijing Opera facial mask latte art paired with the imperial court snack "Beijing Eight Pieces," creating a ceremonial experience. Main meals are prepared by hutong chefs, offering either Tan Family Imperial Cuisine or Mei Family Banquet. The hotel enjoys an excellent location, within walking distance of Wangfujing Commercial Street, Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and Jingshan Park.

What to eat in Beijing 🥘 1.) MR. PING'S NOODLE HOUSE 🍜 in Universal Studios Beijing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The price of a dish is about 70 CNY or about 300 baht in our country. It's delicious, but I recommend ordering SICHUAN DAN DAN MIAN, it's the most delicious. 2.) Hot-pot Factory 🍲 in the Uniqlo building near Sanlitun ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It's an a la carte hot pot. Scan to order with Wechat and you'll get free fried rice. This is very delicious, 100/10. There are also free side dishes, delicious kimchi, and free soft-serve ice cream. Most importantly, the waiters are very cute. We went with 4 people and paid 281 CNY, about 1,327 baht. 3.) Rhapsody 小大董 🦆 in the APM Wangfujing building ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A famous Peking duck restaurant. I have to admit that the duck is good, but we weren't that impressed. In addition, I also ordered other things, but I can't remember the name of the menu. There were 4 of us and we paid 316 CNY, around 1,492฿. 4.) Banu Hot Pot 🥩 APM Wangfujing 6th Floor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like meat, you should like it because there are many menus, but there is very little pork. There is only one menu. This shop has a snack stick similar to fried dough sticks. I want you to order it. It's delicious. The soup here is not very spicy. The minced shrimp is very delicious. They will make it round like meatballs and put it in the pot. The staff is good at everything. If you order noodles, they will come and make it for you at the table. You order food through the screen at the table. It cost more than 500 yuan. I can't remember the exact price because I paid in cash. It was around 2,500฿. 5.) Mubus Buffet 🍛 It is a restaurant of Mubus at the Mutianyu Great Wall. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ We paid extra to come down from the Great Wall and eat right away. We didn't have to look for it. But in reality, there were very few things to eat. But the things we could eat were delicious. But most of the food was not our style. It was mostly Chinese food. If anyone likes it, you can book it. The food price is 60 CNY per person, approximately 284฿ 6.) Dim sum at Jin ding xuan Ditan 金鼎轩地坛店 🥠 Near Lama Temple, take the L2 or L5 train and get off at Yonghegong Lama Temple 雍和宫 Station, Exit A ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It is a very large dim sum restaurant. You have to get a queue number on the 1st floor first. The shop has seats and a monitor to show the queue. There are fortune cookies for each person to pick up. There are souvenirs to buy back. We ordered a total of 6 items for 4 people, 555+. We were hungry. There was Sichuan chili stir-fried chicken that was extremely delicious. It was very enjoyable to eat. The har gow was also great. Every table ordered it. The shrimp dumplings were also delicious. There was also stir-fried glass noodles, similar to sukiyaki, but the taste was similar to stir-fried soy sauce. It was also delicious. We also ordered stir-fried crab tofu, but this one didn't pass. It was too fishy to eat. I can't remember the exact price, but it was around 400 yuan, around 2,000 baht. #trip #travelchina #beijing #beijingrestaurant #beijingfoodreview #chinesefood #beijing #beijingfood #china

Beijing, China, traveling alone is not difficult. Pin it and go! - The Forbidden city - Beijing Bell & Drum Towers - Temple of Heaven - Great Wall (Badaling) - Summer Palace 1. Flight tickets, accommodation - Prepare documents for return flight and accommodation for Chinese immigration. Sometimes they don't. 2. How to use the internet - Open a SIM card from Thailand to use social media. 3. Must-have apps - Alipay is used to link with Travel Card to pay for everything, shops, restaurants, subway fares, bus fares, and even paying for bicycles. - Wechat is a chat app. You can type in Thai or English. The system will translate into Chinese for you. Add to hotel to send codes, scan to order food in some restaurants. - Use Apple maps, it will be more accurate for checking routes. When you arrive in China, you will be able to use it. - Baidu maps is only in Chinese. I tried using it and it was very confusing. I had to capture the image and translate it in gg translate. - MetroMan is used to check the subway stations in each city. Choose the origin and destination. Very detailed explanation - Google Translate uses both image scanning to help read. Chinese people speak and type for you to read. Translating from images may be a bit silly or funny, but it works. 4. How to travel - If traveling in cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Changsha, I will mainly use the Metro. When you get off the station, you will arrive at the tourist attraction. - Look carefully at the exits of each station. Exiting from the wrong door can really change your life. - The subway requires bag scanning every time, every station, seriously. Drinking water must be drunk and shown off, or small alcohol sprays must be poured out. It depends on the discretion of each station. It is different at every station. - The subway closes at 22.30 / 23.00, depending on the route. - The Shanghai and Beijing Metro uses the Travel Card. You can tap it right away. You don't have to scan and pay for coins at the automatic machine. - China is very large. It takes a lot of time to travel. You have to walk a lot. Some places may require a bit of walking. We can rent a bicycle to ride. Choose the blue color and press through Hello Bike in Alipay. - If you want to call a taxi, you can press DiDi in the Alipay app as well. - High-speed rail For cross-city travel, leave on time, doors close about 5 minutes before, and arrive at the high-speed rail station about 1 hour early. The station is very big. 5. Restaurants, cafes, etc. - There are many restaurants, both in-store and on-street, mostly Chinese menus. - Most of the food is the same style, noodles, wontons, stir-fried vegetables, grilled skewers. - The price is mostly 150 baht or more per dish, but the portions are very large. Don't be dizzy, you can't finish it all. But ask to wrap it up and take it home, they will do it for you. - There are many tea and coffee shops all over the city. It looks like there are no people in front of the shop, but the queue is huge. They will let you order via WeChat, but we can smoothly walk up to the staff and ask if we can order here. We can't read Chinese. They will let us choose the menu and order for us at the counter. 6. How to spend? Scan to pay, Cash - Big cities in China are very cashless. Not a single baht is used in cash. Everything is scanned by Alipay. - But you should have some cash with you. Because sometimes the app is confused with us. Suddenly, we can't pay. 7. Chinese toilets, the real legend - If it's a modern city like Shanghai, you will be impressed. The toilets in the mall are very good. The system is fully automatic. Beijing is okay. - Some cities still have the legend of squatting. - It is recommended to go to the mall. The toilets are generally clean. There are housekeepers all the time. - There are toilets in the subway. 8. Other things to know - If you go on a holiday, there will be a lot of people. Plan well. Leave some time for yourself. - Chinese people still smoke everywhere. Sometimes it makes me angry. Carry a mask. - Carry your passport at all times. You need to use it to buy tickets to enter tourist attractions. - In the subway, there will be people taking care of people at crowded stations or during peak hours. But it's not like our country. People are ready to enter before they leave. Be prepared. - If you want a format with few people and no people, waiting is the only way to win because there are really a lot of people. #TravelEco #TravelChina #TravelChinaByYourself #TravelBeijing #Beijing

They gave us a price of 178 CNY per person, totaling 712 CNY for 4 people, so we negotiated with them for 700 CNY for 4 people. They gave us a discount, but I was a bit too calm at the time, so I should have negotiated more. The price includes the costume + hair + makeup, but I didn't want my face to float, so I said no makeup, just my hair and costume. There is a 500 CNY deposit for each costume, which you can get back when you return the costume. #travelchina #travelplan #beijing #forbiddencity #forbiddencity #trip

The Great Wall has many sections, each with its own unique beauty. On this trip, we chose Mutianyu Section because it only takes an hour and a half by bus from downtown Beijing. In addition to being close, Mutianyu Section also has Taboggan, a slide that slides down from the Great Wall, which is the highlight of this trip. It's awesome! My friends have been waiting for this trip with Mubus. Everyone can choose the tour they want or travel by themselves, depending on their convenience. 💴 Tour price 180 CNY ✅ This price includes: 1. Round-trip bus from Dongzhimen Station to Mutianyu Section of the Great Wall 2. English-speaking guide 3. Great Wall admission ticket (If you go by yourself, buy a ticket for 40 CNY) 4. Park bus (If you go by yourself, buy a ticket for 15 CNY) ❌ This price does not include 1. Buffet food 60 CNY 2. The cable car up and down is separated into East and West sides, but both sides cost 140 CNY. If you want to go to both sides, it will cost 280 CNY What is the difference between East and West sides❓ 🛝 Mutianyu East side: The cable car uphill only has a fall lock. It doesn't take long. It's not scary at all. You can sit in each cable car for 2 people. When the cable car goes to the top, we will be at Fort 6. We can walk from Fort 6 to Fort 1, but the guide recommended that we walk to Fort 4, which is the highlight. There will be 3 towers in a row. Then come back down by taking the Taboggan. This is really fun. There will be a control in the middle. If you push forward, it will go faster. If you pull back, it will brake. The slide down takes quite a while. I feel that it is worth the money because it is so much fun. Along the way, there are beautiful flowers to see while going down. 🚠 Mutianyu West side: This side, when getting off the park bus, you have to walk about 200 meters up the mountain, very tiring. This side will take a cable car called 360 view cable car, can seat up to 8 people. The cable car will stop at Fort 14, which is the only one with a bathroom and a 5A sign. This side has a flat and long walkway, quite beautiful, but there are some difficult spots. The round trip will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes. I personally think the West side is beautiful, but the East side has a taboggan that you can slide down more fun. But in any case, walking on both sides is tiring. The total cost of going to the Great Wall of China is almost 2,500 baht per person. If you ask why it's expensive, it's because we went to both East and West without thinking of coming back. 555+ End of the review of the Great Wall of China The Great Walk of China ⏰️ Opening hours: 7:30 AM #Beijing #Beijing #TravelChina #GreatWallofChina #Mutianyu #TravelPlan #NatureAttractions

🚗 Travel: We called a didi car from Beijing Xinqiao Hoel and got off at The ticket checkpoint of Universal Studio Beijing. The price is 98.13 CNY. ⏰️ Opening and closing hours: 9:00 - 20:00 🗺 Map of the theme park: You can see it in the mini program via wechat by typing --> 北京环球度假区官方 🎟 Tickets: Bought through Trip.com at a price of 7,200฿ for 4 people, with a small discount. Paid 7,076฿/4 people, or 1,769฿ per person. You can show your passport to the officer without using anything else. Review of the rides I got to play 1. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (9.5/10): When you enter this ride, there will be lockers. We have to leave our belongings in the lockers first. After we've finished leaving them, we can walk into the ride zone. We'll sit on chairs and there will be lockers. Then there is the Harry Potter animation, but I deducted 0.5 points because the images moved too fast, making me dizzy. But overall, I liked it. I waited in line for 35 minutes, but I didn't feel like I was in line because I walked in a coil. I just walked along. It was like they had already thought of how to make me wait. 2. Kung Fu Panda Journey of the Dragon Warrior (8/10): This ride didn't take long, about 15 minutes. It was a relaxing boat ride to see Kung Fu Panda. 3. Transformers Battle for the AllSpark (9.5/10): It was a ride to watch the Transformers animation and we felt like we were part of the animation. I deducted 0.5 points because I was confused about which one was good and which one was bad. 555+ It was too fast, but I liked it and had fun. If anyone has played in Singapore, it's similar. 4. Jurassic World Adventure (9/10): This one is similar to Transformer, but when you enter, the things outside are set up to make you feel like you're sitting in a car and chilling out and watching dinosaurs. But in reality, it's not that easy. 5. Despicable Me Minion Mayhem (8/10): When you walk in, it's a big room, with rounds. The queue runs quite fast. There are rows of chairs, like a movie theater. Go watch the Minion movie, where the chairs move back and forth, with water splashing effects. 6. Lights! Camera! Action (7/10): This one is just so-so, similar to Singapore's. There'll be rain, storms, and lights. The lights are really hot. 7. Carousel of Kung Fu Heroes (9/10): It's a carousel. I deducted points for being difficult to get on. You don't have to wait long in line, just 5 minutes to get on. It fulfills my childhood. 555+ 8. Beijing Universal Studios Parade (10/10): When you go to a theme park, you really have to watch the parade. There will be every character in Universal. The parade is very long and impressive. I got to watch it before I went back, which was perfect. ♡ Decepticoaster I didn't get to play this one myself, but my friends really liked it. It's a roller coaster. #travelchina #travelplan #trip #usb #universalstudiosbeijing #beijing #beijing #amusementpark

Anyone who took the sunrise view from the sky, feel free to share the moment ❤️❤️

#Mainland Travel If the Forbidden City is a symbol of royal style, then the Old Summer Palace is a place of memories full of regrets and poetry. This is not only a royal garden, but also a heavy but unforgettable chapter in Chinese history. ▶️Transportation 🚇 Take Metro Line 4, get off at "Yuanmingyuan Station", exit from Exit A and walk about 5 minutes to the main entrance. 🚌 There are also many bus lines nearby, such as 365, 432, 498, etc. ▶️Must-see attractions 🌿 Fuhai Lakeside As you enter the park, you will see vast expanses of green and sparkling lake water. It is a great place to take a slow walk, daydream, or sit and enjoy the breeze, feeling the tranquility of being surrounded by nature. 🏛️ Western Building Ruins The most touching part is the Western Building area, where the dilapidated colonnades and stone carvings silently tell of the past glory and plunder. Many people will stand here quietly for a long time, as if time has stopped. 🌀 Labyrinth Garden (Da Fountain Ruins) This was once the most lively European fountain and royal entertainment venue, but now only ruins remain. Walking into it, you can still feel a hint of the prosperity of the past. ▶️Tips for visiting the park ☀️ Best time to visit: Spring and Autumn
