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

I just lived what might be the best experience of my entire life: spending the night on the Great Wall of China, in a remote, wild, and unrestored section – the kind of place you’re technically not allowed to camp on… but where the magic truly happens. 🌿 The adventure took me to 📍Address: Huanghuacheng Lakeside, a tiny mountain village hidden deep in nature, about 2 hours from Beijing. Far from the tourist crowds and manicured sections, this part of the Wall is untouched, abandoned, and completely silent. No fences, no ticket booths, no noise – just stone, trees, and time standing still. ✨ I had the rare chance to sleep directly on the Wall. Lying on ancient stones, under a sky full of stars, surrounded by misty mountains – it was simply unreal. No words can capture the peace, the thrill, and the connection I felt to history. ⚠️ Keep in mind: camping on the Wall is technically forbidden, especially in non-renovated areas. It’s something you do at your own risk, with maximum respect for the site and its legacy. But if you’re the adventurous type, this could be an experience that changes your life. I can’t recommend it enough for those chasing authenticity, solitude, and an unforgettable memory ❤️ #adventuremoments #greatwall #china #adventure #trekking #camping

Visiting the Great Wall was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Beijing. We chose the Mutianyu section and went there with a private guide, who drove us in his comfortable, air-conditioned car — no transfers, no stress, just smooth travel 🚗💨 We arrived at the wall around 4 PM, and it turned out to be the perfect time. There were no lines at all — not at the entrance, not for the shuttle bus, not for the cable car. And once we got on the Wall itself, it was nearly empty. It felt like we had it all to ourselves 🧡 We had plenty of time (and space!) to take beautiful photos in the soft afternoon light 📸✨ Before the cable car, there’s a small tourist street with souvenir shops and snack places — even Pizza Hut and Burger King. The walk to the actual cable car station takes about 10–15 minutes and includes lots of stairs — so if you’re visiting with kids, don’t bring a stroller. Our guide had pre-booked the tickets and advised us to take the closed cable car, since rain was in the forecast. We went with it to be safe — but in the end, the weather was sunny and clear, and the open cable car would have been much more fun and scenic 🌄 Oh well — next time! The Wall itself is truly massive and majestic. In summer, everything is lush and green, and the mountain views are incredible. Despite the heat, a light breeze made it easier to walk and climb the steps. On the way back, we grabbed a quick bite at Burger King and headed back to Beijing — tired but very happy. ⸻ 💡 Tips: – Visit in the late afternoon for softer light and fewer people – Book tickets in advance, especially if going with a guide – The area has souvenir shops, snacks, drinks, and restrooms – If weather allows, choose the open cable car — it’s more scenic – There are lots of stairs — wear comfy shoes – Shuttle buses are air-conditioned and comfortable ⸻ #GreatWall #Mutianyu #BeijingTrip #ChinaTravel #SunsetOnTheWall #HiddenGem #PrivateTour #adventuremoments

#chinatravel 📍Baipu Temple in Mentougou, Beijing, is one of the city’s most surreal and awe-inspiring ancient temples—its intricate architectural details and mystical atmosphere truly leave you speechless. Hidden in Yubai Village, it’s free to enter (no reservation needed) and open from 8:30–18:00.

You can enjoy a vegetarian meal for 30 yuan inside or bring your own food. A hidden gem perfect for a spiritual day out! #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary

Who understands the joy of trendy play lovers! No need to draw lots or pay a premium, you can directly achieve trendy play freedom in Pop Mart City Park! This park located in Chaoyang Park in Beijing has turned my favorite IP images into real and tangible scenes. Once you step in, it's like being dragged into the blind box world, with surprises everywhere! 🎈 Regional highlights - Pop Street: The face of the park, you can see classic IP elements such as Molly and Labubu as soon as you enter. The street game house is super fun, and you can win limited badges by playing a game for 30 yuan. The small sweet bean self-service supermarket next to it is full of healing cute things, and the photos are beyond the movie. - Encounter Forest: The mysterious world of THE MONSTERS family is restored, and the atmosphere of scenes such as tree houses and fishing villages is full. Don't miss the 1,100-square-meter non-powered area for children with children, where children can have fun on the sand and hemp rope swings. - Lakeside: Board the DIMOO Delicious Explorer, savor exquisite desserts while enjoying the tranquil lake view, so comfortable that you don't want to get off the boat. - MOLLY's Castle: The center building of the park, the trendy toy collection hall on the first floor can see a lot of limited editions, which can satisfy your desire to collect; the IP-themed food in the restaurants on the second and third floors is both good-looking and delicious; the "Wish Journey" on the first floor of the basement, the exhibition version is suitable for understanding the trendy toy culture, and the immersive version allows you to become the protagonist and participate in the adventure. 📸Photography check-in point It's good to pose in front of the IP interactive device of Bubble Street; the large lawn in front of the castle, with the dream castle as the background, can take fairy-tale blockbusters in minutes; the DIMOO Delicious Explorer in the lakeside area, the hull and the lake view complement each other, is the birthplace of gentle photos. 🍔Food Recommendation The waffles at Labubu Waffle Bus are 38 yuan each, with a super cute shape and good taste; the set meal at Molly Banquet Hall has Molly elements from the plating to the dishes, and the dining ritual is full; there are also snack stalls in the forest area, with snacks such as octopus balls and grilled sausages. When you are tired of walking, you can just grab one and feel happy. 💡Practical Tips 1. Buy tickets in advance on the mini program, weekday tickets are more cost-effective; get a "stamp collection passport" before entering the door, plan the stamping route, and there are many queues at popular stamping points. 2. There are many people on weekends and holidays. If you want to interact with IP dolls, go to queue up half an hour in advance for the "Friends Meeting". 3. The Castle Restaurant is crowded during meal times, so it is recommended to eat at off-peak times. Come to Pop Mart City Park and pack up all the beauty and happiness to take home! 💕

The "land aircraft" capable of reaching 600 km/h is about to arrive! At the 17th China International Modern Railway Technology & Equipment Exhibition held in Beijing, the 600 km/h superconducting electric high-speed maglev train made its debut. This isn't just fast—it's a complete redefinition of long-distance travel! Let's do some simple math: Now: Beijing → Shanghai, fastest high-speed train takes about 4.5 hours. Future: Beijing → Shanghai, riding this "land aircraft" will take only 2.5 hours! What does this mean? It means you can completely skip the time spent traveling to/from airports, tedious security checks, and long waits. A "door-to-door" journey with efficiency that might even surpass airplanes! Weekend trips to another city will become as easy as taking the subway. The fatigue of long-distance travel? Gone! How does it achieve "ground-skimming flight"? Unveiling the cutting-edge tech! You must be curious—how can this train run so fast? 🚀 Light as a feather: Its body uses ultra-light, high-strength materials (high-strength aluminum alloy + carbon fiber) commonly found in race cars and airplanes, combined with a streamlined bullet design that slices through air, minimizing wind resistance! Dual-mode "running shoes": Most amazingly, it has two "running" modes! At low speeds, it moves on wheels like a car; when exceeding 150 km/h, the wheels retract "whoosh," and the train levitates completely above the tracks, achieving true "ground-skimming flight" with almost no friction! Green and safe: With no mechanical wear, it's not only super quiet and energy-efficient but also has lower maintenance costs and can adapt to various complex terrains. From "travel at will" to "arrive instantly"—the China Speed Actually, we've already been benefiting from "China Speed." Did you know? China's total railway mileage has reached 162,000 km today—equivalent to circling the Earth's equator 4 times! Among this, high-speed rail mileage has exceeded 48,000 km, covering 97% of cities with populations over 500,000. Thanks to this extensive high-speed rail network, journeys that once took nearly 10 hours have been shortened into comfortable, efficient trips, turning "travel at will" from a slogan into our daily reality. Now, the 600 km/h high-speed maglev train will once again reshape our perception of time and space. It's not just a technological breakthrough—it's a revolutionary change in how we'll travel in the future. If this "land aircraft" launches tomorrow, where would your first stop be? Tell us in the comments! 👇

1️⃣ Nanmen Shabu Shabu (Tian Tan Head Office) The freshly cut Yuanbao meat and lamb tendon meat are delicious, the lamb tendon is tender and has some magical crunch. The sesame sauce of Qianlong cabbage is well seasoned and sweet 😋 The sesame burrito is not so good and greasy. 2️⃣ Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck (Wangfu Century Store) There is a queue at noon and we can eat in the afternoon. Almost three or four hours in line, but in the middle by the way to next door Wangfu Century dressed up a checkered style, after taking pictures back just right to eat. The roast duck skin dipped in white sugar is really unbeatable! Melts in your mouth! ! It’s different from Kaifeng roast duck, but the duck meat tastes the same. The meat of Baylor's barbecue is very fragrant, and you can tell that the ingredients are good! I ordered the stir-fried bean sprouts because I was afraid of greasiness. The combination of bean sprouts and sprouts is very refreshing. 3️⃣ Yao Kee Fried Liver (Yao Street Store) Fried liver is super delicious! ! The garlic taste inside is not smelly or spicy, but has a magical aroma, which is very addictive. The stew does not stink when cooked over fire. It is handled very cleanly and fragrant! You can order pickled cabbage buns, they are so refreshing! Almond Tofu Highly recommended! ! Full of osmanthus fragrance, strong almond flavor at the end! (It is recommended to open one! Really red!!) 4️⃣ Long Yan Tea Shop Valley Yellow Apricot Fruit Tea is normally iced 70% sugar, personally I think average, but the aftertaste has quite a strong apricot aroma. Long Kee rice-infused milk tea has less ice and three parts sugar! I think it's super good! ! It has the scent of osmanthus! So refreshing! 5️⃣ Door nail meatballs Ordinary, it's a regular meatloaf. 6️⃣ Wu Yu Tai Ice Cream The matcha and jasmine flavors are good! ! But the lack of milk flavor, the mouth is a bit gritty. 7️⃣ Yin San Bean Juice The chickpeas are good, but the bean juice is not so good. 8️⃣ New Town Fried Noodles Don't eat. The sauce is very average. Henan people who want to eat suggest using melon and bean sauce mixed with noodles, almost the taste. 9️⃣ Purple Light Garden Milk Peel Yogurt Good food, good food, good food! ! The milk taste is very strong! I picked up three bags when I got home. 🔟 Meitan Village I bought the popular Daigo cheesecake, matcha cheesecake, Earl Gray cheesecake, and yogurt egg yolk. They were all quite good. #Register tripbest July hotel sleeper

The dinner arrangements for the first three days in Beijing were perfect, from the signature roast duck to the Hutong snacks, and finally the rich milky old Beijing desserts~ Every bite is the taste of Beijing, and every meal is super satisfying! 👇 ⸻ 🥇1: Four Seasons Minfu Roast Duck (Dengshikou Store) I originally wanted to go to the Forbidden City Store, but it was too difficult to book! I changed to the Dengshikou Store temporarily. I went there at more than three o'clock in the afternoon and waited for half an hour. It was very popular! The three of us ordered a whole duck, which was just right. The duck breast skin dipped in white sugar fell in love with it as soon as it tasted. The fat fragrance exploded💥The outside is crispy and the inside is tender, melting in the mouth~ Roast duck is paired with lotus leaf cakes, sweet noodle sauce, and shredded green onions. It is a full-featured first night dinner! 📍Recommendation: Crispy and tender roast duck + duck skin dipped in white sugar! The cake skin is so thin that it is translucent, and the duck frame soup is boiled into milky white for free~ 📌Reminder: It is recommended to avoid peak hours, and the queue will be faster. If the Forbidden City store is too crowded, the branches at Dengshikou, Qianmen, and Wangfujing are all good, and the taste is equally good! ⸻ 🥈2: Heyan Meat Pie (Dongsi Branch) 300 meters from our hotel, 3 minutes walk, of course we have to go and eat 😃 on Dongsi South Street ~ a magical store with an average price of 50 per person! Signature beef pie juice warning❗️ 📍Recommendation: The meat pie skin is crispy and the meat filling is overflowing, and the Qianlong cabbage sesame sauce is super rich🍯The sweet and spicy version of Kung Pao Chicken is delicious. The pie skin is crispy. It is the kind of store you want to visit again ⸻ 🥉3: Menkuang Hutong Centennial Braised Pork Let's try the most "authentic" taste in Beijing - braised pork and fire-baked bread! The pig offal is very flavorful, the soup base is thick, and the fire-baked bread absorbs the soup. It is heavy but the more you eat, the more delicious it is! We also had a portion of noodles with soybean paste. The sauce was very salty and the noodles were elastic, which was also good. 📌TIPS: Friends who mind offal or strong taste can try it at their discretion~ But old Beijingers say "If you haven't had braised pork, you haven't been here"~ ⸻ 🍮Ending dessert: Ziguangyuan Milk Skin Yogurt After the main meal, of course you have to have a cup of old Beijing-style dessert! Milk skin yogurt is so rich, a bit like a combination of cheese and yogurt, full of milk flavor, icy and super greasy, it is the perfect ending for this trip~ 📍Ziguangyuan has many branches throughout Beijing, and locals love it too! **Summary**: From exquisite roast duck to dirty stalls in the alleys, Beijing cuisine is really not just about bean juice! 🤣 #Beijing Food#Beijing Exploration#Siji Minfu Roast Duck#Heyan Meat Pie#Luzhu Fire Roast#Ziguangyuan#Old Beijing Taste#Beijing Must Eat#Exploration Sharing#Naipizi Yogurt

On the third day in Beijing, I took my son to the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution, which was the museum that my son was most excited about. It was impossible to book a ticket by myself, and I had to rely on travel agencies to grab tickets. We were super lucky to get the tickets, so we made a special reservation for a 2-hour professional explanation, which turned out to be the most focused and exciting 2 hours of his entire trip to Beijing! 👦✨ 💬 It is worth mentioning that the explanation teacher this time was a retired PLA uncle! The tone was vivid and the content was rich. Not only did he introduce weapons and equipment, but he also interspersed a lot of historical backgrounds and war stories, and even designed a quiz interactive session that children love the most! The whole process was not dull, even I listened with relish~👏 ⸻ 🎯 Highlights of the three-story exhibition area: 🔸 Underground floor Large equipment concentration area! There are so many tanks and cannons, the scene is magnificent, and many scenes that little boys dream of are right in front of you. 🔸 First floor lobby As soon as I walked in, I was shocked by the fighter planes and missile launchers! The Dongfeng-1 missile went straight into the dome (looking up is super oppressive) and there is also a naval ship exhibition area 🔸 The second floor exhibition area Mainly static displays, there are pistol/rifle corridors, historical relics, and the tour guide shared a lot of small stories from the war when he talked about this, which is very educational. ⸻ 📌 Tips: If you bring your children here, you must make an appointment for a guided tour! Not only do children learn a lot, but they can also participate in interactive quizzes, which is more interesting and memorable~ If you also have a military-loving child at home, this stop must be included in the must-go list! 💯 #Beijing Parent-Child Tour #Military Museum Must-Go #Beijing Travel Guide #Little Boy’s Favorite Check-in Spot #Veteran Guide #Parent-Child Education Travel #Museum Recommendation #Beijing Free Travel #Military Fans’ Paradise

My stay experience at The Peninsula Beijing The Peninsula Beijing, formerly known as The Palace Hotel which opened in 1989, is a luxury hotel with rich historical heritage. With its all-suite design, Michelin-starred restaurants, and unique "Peninsula Time" concept, it holds a distinguished position among Beijing's hotels, continuing to exude luxury and grandeur, perfectly embodying "The Peninsula is an immortal legend." Whether for couples, tourists, or business travelers, it's an excellent choice. 🏨 Basic Info Room Type: Grand Deluxe Suite (616) Area: 75㎡ Brand: The Peninsula Mattress: Simmons (medium-firm) Price: ¥2,938/night 🧹 Soundproofing/Cleanliness: Overall performance is good, creating a quiet and tidy environment for a restful stay. 🏘️ Room Type/Layout: The room is thoughtfully designed with well-organized functional areas. The 75㎡ Grand Deluxe Suite offers spacious comfort. Equipped with a smart control system, guests can conveniently operate room facilities via a tablet, combining technology with practicality. 🛌 Amenities/Facilities: While there are highlights, there's room for improvement. The full-length mirror is a favorite for grooming. However, maintenance of room facilities could be better, with occasional delays or unresponsiveness in the control panel for the sound system. The room view is average, with south-facing rooms offering a less impressive scenery. 💰 Per Capita Cost: At ¥2,938 per night, considering the hotel's positioning and services, the per capita cost is high-end, suitable for those seeking quality experiences with ample budgets. 🍽️ Dining Experience: The dining experience is generally good. Breakfast is semi-buffet style with limited variety but high-quality à la carte options. Phoenix Court Chinese Restaurant serves exquisite dishes, though the value could be better. The Peninsula Terrace offers standard drinks and average views, but the attentive service—like proactively refilling snacks, offering new drink samples, and providing blankets—is commendable. 💁 Service Quality: Service is noteworthy, from the front desk's warm welcome and detailed room introductions to prompt room deliveries and professional gym guidance, all reflecting high service standards. 💗 Other Highlights: "Peninsula Time" is a standout feature, allowing check-out to be extended until 10 PM, providing a more flexible and unique experience. 💡 Overall Recommendation: The Peninsula Beijing is worth experiencing for its prime location (walking distance to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, and convenient bike rides to the Forbidden City and Imperial Ancestral Temple), excellent service, and unique check-out policy. Those with high expectations for room views and facility stability should pay extra attention to room selection when booking.

"The wind that misses you has blown to Beijing" – The wind misses you, so it brought me to Beijing 🥺 📍The Forbidden City (故宫 - Imperial Palace) Standing amidst a forest of golden tiles and curved roofs, I am no longer myself... I am a concubine of the 21st century, dressed in a crimson imperial robe, reflecting under the cold sunlight, Elegant, melancholic, and... perfectly suited for you. 📍Temple of Heaven (天坛) – where wishes ascend to the clouds The architecture is round, but my heart is squarely devoted to one person. And you know what? Standing under the deep blue sky of Beijing, I just want to become the wind, embracing the one I miss. 📍The Great Wall (万里长城) – a place I haven’t been to yet, but I promise to visit with someone special Beijing is beautiful, but it would be even more stunning if I could explore it with someone who wouldn’t hesitate to take me everywhere, Even if the road is as long as the Great Wall, their hand would never let go of mine. 📍Shichahai Lake (什刹海) – where the surface freezes but my heart melts On the lake’s surface, my reflection appears like a scene from a fairytale. Someone once said: "Girls in Manchu attire look like they’ve stepped out of history." But I feel... I’ve stepped out of your heart 🫶🏻

The Great Wall of China 👉🏻 Mutianyu's Unique Charm 🚶 Visiting Beijing? You definitely have to climb the Great Wall! 📖 After doing some research, I decided to book a private car to visit the less crowded and scenic Mutianyu section. 🌈 While Mutianyu may not be as grand as Badaling, it is renowned for its picturesque views. The watchtowers and steps are well-maintained, with a gentler slope that makes it easier to walk. Its serene and rustic atmosphere resembles a beautiful painting, making it an ideal destination for families with kids or elderly travelers. ✨ Travel Guide Highlights: ✅ Private Car: Pick-up and drop-off service within the Fifth Ring Road. You can choose your departure time, enjoy a direct highway ride to the scenic area, and leave your luggage in the car for worry-free exploration. On the return trip, you can stop by 1-2 nearby attractions in the city (such as the Summer Palace, Old Summer Palace, Prince Gong Mansion, or the Bird's Nest and Water Cube). ✅ Shuttle Bus: Walk 200 meters to take a 5-minute shuttle bus ride, then walk another 200 meters to reach the cable car station. ✅ Cable Car: Opt for a round-trip cable car ride to reach the 14th watchtower. From there, climb westward to the 20th watchtower and return. (The 20th watchtower is the highest point of Mutianyu Great Wall, offering breathtaking views.) Tips: ✅ The steps between the 14th and 18th watchtowers are relatively gentle, while those between the 18th and 20th watchtowers are steeper. Plan your climb according to your physical condition. ✅ Wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and be prepared for sun protection. ✅ Bring an umbrella for both sun and rain protection 💯
