[2025 Beijing Restaurant] Travel Guide for Grill 79 (Updated Jul)

OMG! Disney has landed in Chaoyang! As a longtime Disney fan, I’ve scouted the best hotels and routes for you—comfortable stays and hassle-free commutes. Just follow this guide and you’re golden! 🏨 Stay at These Two Hotels—Super Close to the Event Venue! 1. Metropark Lido Hotel (Sanlitun Branch) ▪️ Why choose it? Super close to Chaoyang’s core area! Just a 15-minute taxi ride to the Disney event venue. Easy access to Sanlitun and Guomao for shopping, and you can grab bubble tea on your way back at night. ▪️ The rooms are amazing! Spacious 55 sqm suites with bathtubs and walk-in closets—perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day. High-floor rooms offer stunning night views, and the ambient lighting sets the mood. ▪️ Must-try breakfast: Old Beijing Zhajiang Noodles! Also, Douzhi and Jiaoquan (dare to try, ladies?). Fuel up before heading to the early sessions. ▪️ Hidden perk: The hotel has a heated pool! Swim after a day of fun to avoid sore legs and back—ready to party again the next day. 2. Lii Hotel (Guomao Dawanglu Branch) ▪️ Top pick for subway riders! Just a 3-minute walk to Dawanglu Station (Line 14), direct access to the event venue (check the exact stop based on the event location—tested and hassle-free). ▪️ Best value for money! Deluxe rooms include breakfast with freshly made wontons and jianbing. The 24-hour laundry service is a lifesaver—pack light for a 2-day trip. ▪️ Bonus for drivers: Free parking at the door! Parking near the venue is tough during the event—save time by staying here. 🚇 Best Routes? Avoid Traffic at All Costs! (Example: Metropark Lido → Indigo Event Venue. Adjust for other venues.) 👉 In a hurry? Take a taxi/drive. ▪️ Taxi: Set your destination to "Indigo Winter Garden." Leave before 8 AM to avoid traffic—15 minutes, ¥25–30. ▪️ Drive: Navigate to "Indigo Parking Lot." Pre-pay via the mini-program (on-site queues are long). ~¥60/day. Enter the mall directly from B1. 👉 On a budget? Take the subway. ▪️ Walk 8 minutes to Line 10 Sanyuanqiao Station → 2 stops to Agricultural Exhibition Center → Transfer to Line 14, exit at Jiangtai Station (Exit C) → 5-minute walk to Indigo. Total: 30 minutes, ¥4. ▪️ Pro tip: Line 14 is packed during rush hour! Go off-peak or spend an extra ¥10 on a taxi. 🎢 On-Site Itinerary (Tested & Efficient!) 1. 9:30 AM: Head straight to the Winter Garden on the 1st floor! The 6-meter-tall Mickey installation is crowd-free—best lighting for photos. 2. 11:00 AM: Visit the Graffiti Workshop on the 3rd floor—interact with Minnie to get limited-edition stickers! 3. 12:30 PM: Grab lunch in the mall. Recommend the Japanese ramen on B1—rich broth, chewy noodles, and quick service. 4. 2:00 PM: Catch Donald Duck’s band performance at the Beach Stage. Arrive 20 minutes early for front-row seats. 5. 4:00 PM: Shop at the pop-up store! The Li-Ning x Disney hoodies are cute, and the Smart car photo spot is a must. 6. 7:00 PM: Wait for the digital fireworks (weekends only!). Secure a spot on the rooftop terrace early for the best view. 💡 Final Tips Expect crowds—staying nearby lets you arrive early for prime spots! Book either hotel on Trip.com (breakfast-inclusive packages save money). Wear light-colored clothes—they pop in Disney photos. Let’s go!
