Beijing: GOT FLEECED! Back & Realized: XHS is Mostly #TravelLies.
-
Are they reliable though? A local tour group... this isn't just some marketing, is it?
-
Totally reliable! They're a verified local tour group, @狸猫环球旅行, with no weird extra charges.
-
Can you book Tiananmen Square tickets on-site?
-
Nope, you can't.
-
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?
-
Following this.
-
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?
-
Are there any local tours?
-
Yes, try @狸猫环球旅行.
