[@jessd5647]

As a Beijinger I just want to say that your video is fantastic! Qianmen and Gulou are my favourite places in Beijing and a lot of locals go there quite often. These are really the best places in Beijing and they are so unique! Thank you for sharing and thank you for your brilliant interpretation : )

[@Nicofilms]

Thank you so much that means a lot coming from a Beijinger! They are my favourite places too, especially Gulou we are always in that area! I'm really happy you enjoyed it!

[@squashdevicer]

Beijing is safe, clean, efficient, and not very expensive. I think Spring and Fall are the best time to visit. Summer is stifling hot and humid and winter can be cold and windy. Go to Temple of Heaven early to see the hundreds of seniors doing their dancing, exercising, singing, or just having a great time with other seniors. Signs are mostly bilingual.

[@Nicofilms]

Great tips! Thank you!

[@grahamralston5662]

Hi Nico, My wife and I watched the raising of the Chinese flag , one very early morning. How amazing. If you haven't watched it for real yet, I strongly suggest you do. Need to get there super early, like 2 hours before sunrise, to get to the front of the barriers. Graham.

[@Nicofilms]

Thanks for the tip! I haven't yet but maybe one day I can drag myself out of bed that early haha

The Hostels in China are so beautiful. So much character and comfort. Love the hostels in Beijing (courtyards). But my best hostel choice is in Shenzhen at the Loft.

[@Nicofilms]

Yes we love staying in hostels we actually included one but it had shut down recently so we had to take it out. I will check that out if we go back to Shenzhen.

[@nickinchina2552]

[@christellema6249]

Wow! Thank you for such a great video showing my home city! Beijing is where you can never get bored! I’ve never finished exploring it! It’s just like living in the history and making its new chapter along with the other people in the city. Hope I can be back very soon. Also, the national museum, the capital museum and some other kinds of museum are the places that travelers often forget. But if you want to get a really deeper look, don’t miss the museums! Especially the national museum next to the TianAnMen square, it’s Huge! There are always some temporary exhibitions in the Forbidden City as well

[@changshen8860]

Born and raised in Beijing, my favorite place in Beijing is actually the National Library of China. You can google (sorry, bing) the picture of it. Reading for a whole day in that library feels soooo good. But you can't bring your own book though. Laptop and notebooks are fine. Strongly recommend! Especially in the lowest level where the study desks are surrounded by ancient Chinese literature. There is a sense of solemnity. Studying and reading feel holy.
