4/5 - Good

I like Beijing and have visited several times before. I had planned this trip ahead of time thinking that Beijing would be a great place to be to celebrate the Chinese New Year. But, the "Virus" showed up and pretty much could not do anything!!!!!!

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Beijing has so many good things and metro is efficient and clean. But too many people smoke outside and spit on the ground.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

its more expensive than other Chinese cities. Buy water bottles at a convenience store as they are upcharged at attractions. Use the subway because it takes you everywhere and taxis are often VERY pricey and some refuse to use the meter

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Everyone was friendly and very accommodating. I don't speak much Chinese, but everyone was helpful.

4/5 - Good

Traffic is a problem in Beijing now. Better to walk if possible, but wrap up warm if you visit in January like we did Most overnight lows were minus 10 degrees Celsius
