Hi, here are my Beijing trip itinerary for sharing. Any comments and suggestion are most welcome. Transportation in Beijing are very convenience. Almost all the attractions we covered are through public transportation except Great Wall and Ming Tombs. To me, I am not really used to the food here and in Beijing, you hardly get coffee which is my favorite......
From Beijing South Station, we took a taxi to King's Joy Hotel which located at Meishijie 煤市街, near Qianmen. This hotel is well located, walking distance to subway station, Qianmen, Tiananmen Square, Tiananmen, Forbidden City and Jingshan Park. Step out from hotel (left) is the Dazhalan Street. We shop around at Dazhalan Street in the evening and enjoy the night scene of Qianmen.
