      Beijing is very dry; it's cold outside but warm indoors. Friends visiting from southern China, remember to bring lip balm and hand cream, drink plenty of water, and pack enough clothes. Garments with zippers or buttons are better than pullovers because they're easier to put on and take off for layering.

              As someone who's been to Beijing, I'd suggest a semi-guided tour. It's hassle-free, and you can still have a great time. Food, accommodation, and transport are arranged, but you get free time to explore the sights on your own, which offers good flexibility. My last few spontaneous trips were with this kind of tour. Just make sure to avoid the ones that are primarily shopping tours.

                How much would a four-day trip cost? 💰

                  Where would you recommend trying Douzhi?

                    Honestly, I wouldn't really recommend making a special trip just for Douzhi. But if you absolutely must try it, the best place would be a small breakfast stall in an alley where you see a few elderly locals queuing up.
