Very cheap "Hostels" in Beijing, China
schoogz says: The Red Lantern Hostel in Beijing, China was a delightful experience. For starters, in a city and country with few English speakers staying at a hostel where most of the staff speaks more-or-less fluent English was a welcome commodity. On top of that, the hostel organized all of our Must-See/Do trip…

princeza_9 says: Of the foods I wanted to make sure my guests (my parents) had when they visited, Beijing Roast Duck was at the top of the list. So walking along the main street in Wangfujing, we stopped at the Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant in one of the hutongs. We were immediately greeted upon entering, shown t…

awonder01 says: Two fun-seeking American friends give you the lowdown on getting around in China’s capital city, Beijing. The subway is very cheap and for 2rmb, you can use 8 different lines, but avoid traveling at 7-9am, or 5-7pm at week days. Taxi can be a good option, from the airport to downtown area c…

Cheap "Restaurants" in Beijing, China
mein0001 says: Oh glorious yummyness! Everything was scrumptious. I found it to be a cozy little spot. Multiple tables for smaller numbers in the front of the restaurant and a room that works for larger groups in the back. A lot of things were fried, but I've found that to be the case here with most restaurants. T…

mein0001 says: Super Gambei (translated to Super "bottoms up" or "cheers") is a very nice cafe (across the street from Vantt Gallery and Cafe) on the main road in the 798 Art District in Beijing. Quite overpriced, but very cozy. They make yummy homemade ice cream, but it will run you 35rmb (about $5US) for two sma…

Farore says: Well there is plenty to see in (and around) Beijing. You really have to see the Great Wall (and climb it too ;), Tienanmen Square (and everything around it) and The Forbidden Palace.

mikemmlj says: If you want to be just slightly (but not too!) adventurous the Holiday Inn Temple of Heaven is a great place to stay. In an up and coming neighborhood just a few miles away from Forbidden city and the main tourist areas it offers a more local but still safe view of Beijing. The local shops were c…

Expensive "Hotels" in Beijing, China
AtlantaScottyV says: I only rated this hotel in Beijing as 'expensive' due to the fact that it contains the famous Beijing (or Peking) Opera at the Liyuan Theatre. I do not recall the actual cost but remember it being rated a "4-Star" hotel by China's standards. I'm not sure about the hotel rating system in China, the…

Ann_Hells says: The location of this park is its crown jewel. After walking through the Fobidden City all you want to do is lie down in the grass or enjoy some cool breeze at the top of this scenic hill. At the top are two gazebo style buildings formerly housing religious relics. On a hot summer day you will find…

The rooms are pretty standard, but the common areas are really great. Free internet, hundreds of dvds, good food, and a great pl…
Average priced "Thing To Do" in Beijing, China
portia says: Simatai section of the Great Wall is about 2-3 hours drive (120km) from Beijing, and you should plan at least 3 hours there. It is possible to go to Jinshangling (to the west) section of the Great Wall, and hike over to Simatai. Seems like pretty serious hiking, and could take 3-4 hours just to get …
Very cheap "General Tip & Advice" in China
ctjevans says: It depends on what part(s) of China you will be visiting, but the most general advice I can give to anyone is, “Learn Chinese!” It’s really hard to get by in most parts of the country without speaking their language (or having a local friend to translate for you). Using Skype (an internatio…

princeza_9 says: As anyone in Beijing would tell you, Western food is expensive. So with that in mind, I wandered my way into Bravo with a hunger for Italian. It's convenient for me since I live two streets away, and is generally convenient, almost right at the door of the ShuangJing metro stop and within quite a fe…

mein0001 says: Vantt Gallery and Cafe is in a great location (on the main road in the 798 Art District in Beijing). Prices were good, a bit inflated because of the location, but not ridiculous. It's a great spot to people watch. I got some bibimbap (Korea dish), which was super yummy (about 25rmb, $4US), but there…
