✈️ Getting there

PEKBeijing Capital International Airport
📍 32 km⏱ 45 min🚌 Airport Express Train🚇 Metro🚕 Taxi🚌 Bus

The Airport Express train (¥25, about 20 minutes to Sanyuanqiao or 30 to Dongzhimen) is by far the best option — fast, clean, and connects directly to Line 2/10 for anywhere in the city.

One of Asia's busiest hubs, Capital Airport is a vast three-terminal complex dominated by Air China, China Eastern, and most major European carriers including Lufthansa, British Airways, and KLM — expect long immigration queues on arrival, especially at Terminal 3.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Beijing — beyond the tourist trail.

🏯Jinshanling Great Wall section — skip Badaling entirely. This 90-minute train-then-bus journey northeast gets you to a partially restored, uncrowded stretch where you can walk for hours between crumbling towers. Go on a weekday in autumn for golden hillsides and virtually no other tourists.
🌅Arrive at the Forbidden City at opening (8:30am) and head immediately to the rear gardens (御花园) — the 9,000-room complex empties out here. Most tour groups never make it past the main halls, so the rockeries and pavilions at the north end feel almost private.
🥟Eat breakfast at a streetside jianbing stand in the hutongs near Nanluoguxiang — the egg-and-scallion crêpe costs ¥8 and is the most authentic meal you'll have all trip. Ask for 'la de' (辣的) if you want chilli sauce.
🚲Rent a shared bike (Meituan or Hellobike apps, ¥1.50/30min) and cycle the Second Ring Road canal path at dusk — this is how Beijingers actually get around, and the light on the water by the drum tower at golden hour is genuinely stunning.
🍜Niu Jie (Ox Street) in Xuanwu district is Beijing's Muslim quarter — a 10-minute metro ride from the tourist centre but completely off most itineraries. The lamb skewers, sesame flatbreads, and fried dough at the street stalls here are extraordinary and the neighbourhood feels nothing like the rest of the city.
