    If you don't have the 'right destiny' for it, we common folk would advise against it. Just take it as me being superstitious, haha.

        I tried a place highly recommended by locals: Liqun Roast Duck.

            From my own experience, you need to go through scalpers. I paid to get in.

              Arriving in Beijing at 2 AM on April 12th? Wow, that's intense! Oh, and about that Beijing Douzhi (fermented mung bean milk) – just buy a bottle, and you can all have a good puke together, hahaha... That's hilarious!

                Where is that 'wealth-scattering stone' located? I want to make sure I steer clear of it!

                  It's in the Summer Palace. You'll spot it as soon as you enter; it's huge!!!

                    May I ask which hotel you stayed at?

                      It was located outside the 2nd Ring Road but inside the 3rd, roughly in the 8 o'clock direction from Tiananmen Square. My private guide recommended the Jingman Zhilv Hotel. The price was around 200+ RMB, which is average, but it was decent enough.

                        I couldn't get a reservation for the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall. Is it possible to get one on-site?

                          You absolutely must book online!! If you can't manage it yourself and don't have any connections, you can ask a tour group to arrange it for you, but you'll likely have to pay extra for a scalper's ticket through them.

                              There's a 5D movie inside that supposedly recreates the history of the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan). However, its content didn't even dare to directly depict the events of the Eight-Nation Alliance. As someone patriotic, I was left speechless and very disappointed. Definitely a thumbs down!
