Beijing: So, Street Sleeping... Can I Actually Do That?
-
The comment section is buzzing! A hundred ways to sleep on the street from our enthusiastic and adorable netizens (I'm cracking up reading all these tips... Hahahahahaha). Honestly, if you're not too fussy about accommodation, you might find some ideas here. (P.S. The 'sleeping on the street' bit was mostly a joke, a bit exaggerated. I was actually hoping for some decent hotel recommendations. I've booked one that looks alright for now, just waiting to check in and see how it really is.)

When are you arriving? We've booked a hotel just north of Wangfujing; it's over 620 RMB a night.

Don't let anyone fool you into thinking other areas are a better deal! I'm staying on Wangfujing Street right now, and I've realized just how convenient it is. The Line 8 subway entrance is right across from the hotel. You can stroll along Wangfujing Street next door until midnight. Downstairs, you've got Menkuang Luzhu (braised pig intestines), Beijing Baodu (quick-boiled tripe), and shrimp wontons. It's a 10-minute walk to the Forbidden City, you can bike around it to Jingshan Park, and Siji Minfu Roast Duck is just a stone's throw away.

Food in Wangfujing???? (shakes head disapprovingly)

What hotel? Please share!
-
Just buy a ticket to Tianjin, sleep there, and come back when you wake up.
-
Hotels in Tianjin are expensive too.

I'm here looking for hotel recommendations. So, where did you end up staying?
-
Beijing Haoting Lizhi Hotel.
-
I recommend this hotel. It's not too far from the subway station and it's near the Temple of Heaven.

There's a place called Qingyunge Hotel on Qianmen Street. It's affordable, has a good environment, and a twin room is just over 100 RMB.
