The ideal times to visit Beijing are during the spring and autumn months. During these seasons, you'll experience the most pleasant weather, with mild temperatures and clear skies. Autumn, in particular, offers a spectacular display of natural beauty, including vibrant maple leaves, golden crops, and a crisp, blue sky. Winter can be quite cold, and summer temperatures can be high. If you're considering a private tour in Beijing, China, these seasons offer the best conditions for sightseeing and enjoyment.
Visa requirements for Beijing depend on your travel plans. If you are transiting through Beijing for a short period, you might be eligible for the 72-hour or 144-hour Visa-Free Policy. However, if you intend to explore other parts of China, such as Xi'an, Chengdu, Guilin, or Shanghai, you will need to apply for a Chinese Tourist Visa.
Beijing is considered a safe destination with a low to moderate crime rate. The city benefits from robust surveillance through a network known as Skynet, which includes numerous security cameras across the urban landscape. While overall safety is high, it's wise to stay alert to potential scams. Avoid accepting invitations from unfamiliar individuals and be cautious with offers from English-speaking locals. For added security, always opt for registered taxis with functioning metres and remain vigilant about your personal belongings.
Public transportation in Beijing is both efficient and user-friendly. The city's subway system is an excellent choice for getting around, offering a reliable way to navigate the city and avoid traffic jams. You can purchase single-trip tickets or Yikatong cards, which come in various options such as one-day and three-day passes. In addition to the subway, taxis and city buses are readily available.
Beijing is a modern city where credit cards are widely accepted at shopping malls, major restaurants, and hotels. However, some smaller shops and street vendors may only accept cash. For cash, ATMs are widely available throughout the city and most accept MasterCard and Visa. Keep in mind that transaction fees can vary between banks, so it’s a good idea to check the exchange rates and fees before using an ATM to ensure you get the best deal on your cash withdrawals.
