Beijing: A Bit Disappointing. (Can I even say that?)
-
I'm also not sure where to stay.
-
Excuse me, for the morning session at the Forbidden City, what time do you need to queue up?
-
It hasn't been too crowded lately, so anytime should be fine, really.
-
I suggest queuing for the Forbidden City early in the morning. I wouldn't recommend going in the afternoon. If you do go in the afternoon, make sure to start heading out by 4 PM.
-
Oh, why? Does it close early?
-
That sounds exhausting.
-
You can't go inside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, right? You can only view it from the outside.
-
You've never been able to go inside the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. Right now, the Imperial Ancestral Temple (Taimiao) is the only main hall you can actually enter.
-
Looking for hotel recommendations, please!
-
That's such a shame you're already in Beijing. Otherwise, I'd totally recommend the tour bus I took with a group before. It genuinely had one seat per person, so even the back row wasn't three people squeezed together. You spend a lot of time on the bus each day, and uncomfortable seats can make you really tired! Beijing is just so huge!
-
Any recommendations?
-
Go in winter when it snows; it just doesn't have the same vibe in the summer.
-
Beijing is really tough on your legs!
-
Hi there, which hotel is this? It looks quite clean and tidy.
-
Same question here.
