Incredibly helpful
I just got back from Chongqing, and this guide was incredibly helpful. The tips for navigating the metro system were invaluable, and it gave me so much more confidence to explore the city. Especially since Google Maps can’t plan metro or walking routes in China, this guide helped me use Amap instead, making my trip absolutely perfect. Thank you so much!

I have read it and it is super helpful for my 1st time in Beijing. There are all complete information which we need: source of fund, access wifi, visa, recommended restaurants, not only the information of tourist places.
I will publish the photos when I am in beijing. It is still another 4mths to go. Can’t wait 😀

Saved Our First Beijing Trip!
Your guide’s hutong food tips were GOLD. We ate like emperors without the imperial budget. The ‘avoid-the-tourist-trap’ advice near the Forbidden City? Priceless. My only regret? Not packing stretchier pants!
Louis D. –
An essential guide for Beijing!

Like Having a Local Best Friend!
Followed your ‘Great Wall at Dawn’ hack-had Mutianyu almost to ourselves! The taxi bargaining script literally saved me 150 yuan. Psst…your dumpling ranking is controversial but 100% correct.
Felix K. –
More than just Peking Duck
Your tip for taking the subway during rush hour? Revolutionary. I’ve taught your ‘smile-and-slide’ method to the locals! And the hidden opera theater… what a gem. Thanks again!
Aisha –
Made Me Look Like a Pro
Used your ‘how-to-order-in-Chinese’ cheat sheet-waiters gasped at my ‘fluency’ (lol). The ‘best photo spots’ map? My Instagram doubled its followers. Forbidden City crowds were no match for your back-alley shortcut.
Antoine –
My human GPS in Beijing
Your strategy to ‘visit the Forbidden City in 2 hours flat’? A miracle. And the Wangfujing night market without fried scorpions (thanks for the alternative)! You deserve a statue in the Hutongs.

Kein Panda, aber trotzem perfekt
Der Zoo-Tipp war gut, aber DANK IHRER LISTE habe ich Peking wirklich erlebt! Die Teezeremonie beim Meister Zhang war heimliches Highlight. Und ja, ich habe die 6-Uhr-morgens-Peking-Ente berlebt!

Beijing for Introverts – Genius!
Your ‘quiet corners of busy attractions’ section spoke to my soul. Found a hidden temple garden while others fought crowds. Bonus: The ‘polite ways to refuse street vendors’ saved my social battery!
