Beijing Shidu: Went for 'Fun,' Got This Warning Instead – Just DON'T.
-
We just did a day trip, haha.
-
Yeah, it gets pretty windy and dusty this season. To be honest, the spring winds in Beijing can be the worst. When guests book for the Qingming Festival, I always give them a heads-up. The best time to visit Shidu is actually after April 20th.
-
How's the scenery around the May Day holiday?
-
What all did you do? And where did you get your tickets?
-
The place we went to didn't require tickets; we were just there to enjoy the views.
-
So Shidu caught some flak from you because of the wind, huh?
-
Ahahaha, well said! The art of language indeed.
-
Not fun, huh?
-
It's not quite the right season yet. I reckon in another couple of weeks, the experience will be much better than it is now.
-
Planning to go tomorrow.
-
Did you go in the last day or two?
-
Yep, it's best to go after April 20th.
-
Oh, by the way, you can haggle for horseback riding. You should be able to get a ride for 15 or 20. Whatever you do, don't pay 50 and get ripped off!

Thank you.
