Bags have different qualities, but most of the dishes shown are quite common. Why can't we talk about it?

Don't just 'feel' like it, you definitely did! Own it.

Must be people from Shandong.

You could check out Talent Park in the evening. I think it's pretty good.

Here's a tip: there are many excellent guesthouses near Chimelong, and it's just a short taxi ride away.

It feels like this happiness could vanish at any moment.

They'll cancel your order after you place it.

Life in Beijing can be quite comfortable if you're not slaving away in a '996' job. Just look at the Beijing 2025 concert lineup – you could catch a show almost every week until the end of the year. Then there's the upcoming May Day Super Strawberry Music Festival. While others spend thousands on flights and hotels just to see one artist, even if you buy the cheapest 380 yuan tickets for 10 concerts, it's like their cost for one show. Plus, with a 100-yuan annual park pass, you get unlimited access to places like the Summer Palace and Beihai Park. Spring blossoms, autumn foliage, winter snow – the fun never ends!

So true! The best part is finally lying in your own bed at home.

I feel like people in Beijing have this sense of superiority, as if Beijing has to be the best place in the country and they can't stand anyone saying otherwise. I won't be swayed by that thinking. I'm already very unhappy here, and the only way to change things is to leave. I visited Hangzhou last month and was so happy; time seemed to slow down, like a day actually had 24 hours. The pace in Beijing is just too fast, there's no time to really experience life.

Me neither. Felt like I was going to suffocate, so I got out of there quickly.

So crowded, and you had to deal with a bratty kid too! Hugs, sis! Thanks for the heads-up!

Just stumbled upon Xiaobao's post!

Nope, that's not really the case. Only during morning and evening rush hours are there 'aunties' to shove you onto the overcrowded bus if you can't get on, but they don't manage the queues. Queues only really form at the terminal stations.

Shanghai isn't actually that 'dog-eat-dog' anymore, though the cost of living is certainly high.

Jiahua's zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are actually delicious! Are there any other places nearby that make even better ones?

We'd wake up at 10 AM and head out around noon every day. We were always cutting it close for our reservations, sometimes even skipping meals. Just one attraction a day. That's how we spent 12 days in Beijing.

But gotta admit, this looks pretty realistic.

A standard car won't fit that many. It's best to specify your group size and communicate with the driver beforehand.

I'm still going through withdrawal.
