International Labor Day (first week of May), PRC Foundation and Mid-Autumn Festival (usually in October), New Year (end-December), Qingming/Tomb Sweeping Festival (either March or April) and Spring Festival (either January or February), some of them will be depending on the Chinese Lunar Calendar, are the PEAK SEASONS of travels for Chinese citizens and expats.

Hi Roseanne, which hotel did you stay in Beijing? and do you think you could have done more there?

[@RoseanneDucut]

Hi, it`s called Yitingzhenshe 0:11. Probably! Depends on what your interests are and pace. Some other things if I had the time or motivation lol: Universal Studios Beijing, Lama temple, Beijing Temple of Confucius, Prince Gong Mansion Museum, Ming Dynasty Tombs, Peking University

[@RoseanneDucut]

It might be a little strenuous though you don't have to walk the whole area and as long as they're not afraid of heights as you have to take the cable car or lift up!

[@Lau_907]

For the wall tour which one exactly did you purchase that included the slide and what not, please? I’ll be going to Beijing in February and I’m working on my agenda. 😊

[@RoseanneDucut]

Did you buy all the admission tickets via viator? Or is it available upon arrival? Which one would you recommend? First time in Beijing.

[@RoseanneDucut]

I did Viator for Great Wall of Tour, then official website for Forbidden City, but Klook sells them too. Depends on if you're going busy season, but you should prebook Forbidden City. Some of the tours are listed here: heyroseanne.com/things-to-see-in-beijing/

[@chrisvoy10]

Which tour company did you use for great wall? Did you like it? Where can I find it? Thank you.

[@RoseanneDucut]

I did the tour with Viator. It's in the description. I enjoyed it! Most tours are similar

[@HLHOP701]

Hi sis, want to ask if we go up and down by cable car normal cable car. Can right? Not the open air cable you took nor the sliding one😅 I am afraid of heights in the open air.

[@RoseanneDucut]

Hi! I can't remember but this site says you can also take cable car since they're run by different companies. But safest to message the tour company! But yeah the open chair lift was a bit unhinged 😅 wildgreatwall.com/mutianyu-toboggan-ride/

[@weeracharttaosuwan480]

What gate did you visit at the Great Wall?

[@RoseanneDucut]

The main entrance at the Meridian Gate

[@CarlBencurtis]

Nice video. What's the season you was there? Did you join the local tour agency?

[@RoseanneDucut]

Thanks! I went in November, right when autumn ended. I booked the Great Wall group tour on Viator that's run by Mubus. Tour is in the description box.

[@daisyduong5535]

hi, may I ask how was the hotel? because im going to stay there but I heard that there arent any windows? moreover, I wonder if the room is clean or not?

[@RoseanneDucut]

I thought it was fine and clean! I think I had like a curtain sliding door. The only con is that you need a local sim card number to access the wifi, and I only had an esim.

[@mrchops]

Thank you for your compilation, i'm definitely saving and pinning some of the spots to when im visiting beijing next month! Also, (personally) I found some of the video cuts were a bit too short, I would love to see slightly longer clips :)

[@MultiAnonymous1993]

Did you book a tour for forbidden city?? Or you just explored around by yourself?

[@RoseanneDucut]

Explored around by myself. There's audio guides + English translations available on the informational placards, but a knowledgeable tour guide would probably enhance the tour!

could you buy your ticket there? or does everything have to be online?

For Great Wall tour and Forbidden City I booked online since it was easier. For most parks you can pay there. But if you're visiting during any busy seasons, I would book ahead just in case.

Thanks! It depends on the person tbh! I enjoy traveling solo and visiting sites. You can also join group tours or local events, but if your main interest is to see China, I would go for it.

hello, may i ask about the language you use? do you speak mandarin? i’m planning to visit beijing alone but i don’t speak mandarin at all, maybe i’ll try to learn some basic tourist conversation before going there. so, would like to know how difficult it would be to navigate everything with little to no mandarin skill. thank you for sharing! 💖

hi! I speak limited Mandarin, but ended up only using a couple of basic travel phrases. There were usually signs in English or I used Google Translate app photo feature. The phrases I used most are under Language Tips here. Have a great trip!: heyroseanne.com/beijing-travel-guide/
