Beijing: Just Back & My PSA: Xiaohongshu (XHS) is Serving Up a SCAMwich!

[Mrs. Beverly Glover-Crist]

Thinking of going for the May Day holiday. Hey, is the tour group you signed up with reliable?

[Frank Cole]

Absolutely reliable! It's a local tour group with Blue V verification, no hidden fees. It was just over 1,000 RMB for five days, and that included accommodation, meals, and entrance tickets. I found them at @LimaoGlobalTravel; you can check them out if you're interested.

Can you actually buy tickets for the Summer Palace on-site???? I've tried buying online twice and had to get refunds both times. I had insomnia today, woke up at 4 AM and was still wide awake by 6 AM, so I just had to refund my ticket again. I'll go when I've actually had some decent sleep. I really hate buying tickets in advance because I never know if I'll sleep well the night before.

[Miss Alison Collier]

Yes, you can buy them on-site. Don't worry!

[Dexter Cummerata]

Excuse me, can you also buy tickets for the Forbidden City on the same day?

[Leticia Ritchie]

No, you need to book those in advance.

[Miss Alison Collier]

I'm planning to take two elderly relatives, both over 80, in early April. Could you recommend a reliable tour group?

[Miss Alison Collier]

This one: @LimaoGlobalTravel. Totally reliable.

[Stacey Kulas]

That's because those fear-mongers on Xiaohongshu spreading booking anxiety probably haven't even been there themselves. It's only really difficult to book during peak season.

[Lula Turner]

So, can you book everything on-site then?

[Jermaine Satterfield]

Isn't the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square?

[Dr. Israel McLaughlin]

Yes, it is.

[Faye O'Conner]

Can you buy tickets for the Forbidden City on-site too?

[Morris Schneider]

No, you can't. You have to book them in advance.

[Samuel Kihn]

Which agency did you go with? Looking for recommendations!

[Felix Glover]

I went with @LimaoGlobalTravel. It's a local tour group with Blue V verification, no pitfalls. Accommodation, meals, and tickets were all included, with no hidden charges. You can ask them if you're interested.

[Guadalupe Barton]

Any recommendations?

[Leticia Ritchie]

Sure, I used @LimaoGlobalTravel. They're reliable and have no hidden fees. You can check them out if you need to!

[Velma Thompson]

Is the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen always super crowded?

[Benjamin Dooley]

It's crowded every day.
