    Hi, I'm planning a three-day trip to Beijing. Would 3,000 RMB be enough?

      Absolutely, that's plenty.

        You really don't need a tour group for Beijing. The public transport is super convenient – the subway gets you everywhere. Plus, entrance fees for attractions are quite cheap. If you're looking for specialty foods, check out places like Joy City or Hopson One; they have a huge variety of regional cuisines and you can shop around too. Take it from a local Beijinger!

          Everyone says booking things is tough, so I'm hesitant to travel independently.

            Hey, how much did your trip cost? I'm planning a five-day trip with my parents.

              I went with a local tour group, @狸猫环球旅行. For just over 1,000 RMB, it covered five days of food, accommodation, and entrance tickets. The best part? No hidden fees! You can check them out if you're interested.

                Are they reliable though? A local tour group... this isn't just some marketing, is it?

                    Can you book Tiananmen Square tickets on-site?

                        It's practically impossible to book Forbidden City tickets online; they sell out in minutes. Is there any way to get them if I go there in person?

                            I went too! I visited Nanluoguxiang, Shichahai, Beihai Park, the Summer Palace, Tiananmen Gate Tower, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, the National Museum, Universal Studios, and the Red Sandalwood Museum. I skipped the Great Wall and Tsinghua/Peking Universities since I'd been before.

                              Which has better snacks: Nanluoguxiang or Huguosi Street?
