Unforgettable Moments in Beijing โ€” 5-Day Travel Journal

๐Ÿ“… Itinerary

Day 1:
Arrived at the hotel/hostel I had booked ๐Ÿจ. Took the subway ๐Ÿš‡ to get there. When using the Beijing subway, I paid with the Alipay app ๐Ÿ“ฑ or a Visa card ๐Ÿ’ณ. Spent the day exploring the neighborhood ๐Ÿ™๏ธ and doing some shopping ๐Ÿ›๏ธ.

Day 2:
Woke up early ๐ŸŒ… and visited the Beijing Zoo ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿป and Aquarium ๐Ÿ ๐ŸŸ. The zoo had all kinds of animals like jackals, lions, and even polar bears ๐Ÿพ. The aquarium was absolutely stunning ๐Ÿฌโœจ.

Day 3:
Went to the world-famous Universal Studios ๐ŸŽข๐ŸŽฌ! Unfortunately, I forgot my passport ๐Ÿ˜…. Also, some items like selfie sticks ๐Ÿคณ and glass food containers ๐Ÿšซ are not allowed inside.

Day 4:
Spent the day at the Great Wall ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿงฑ. Itโ€™s best to visit when the weather is cool ๐ŸŒค๏ธ for a more comfortable experience.

Day 5:
Checked out of the hotel ๐Ÿ›Ž๏ธ and ended the trip โœˆ๏ธ.

๐Ÿด Food Recommendations:
During my stay, I ate at several restaurants on the lower floor of Sanlitun SOHO ๐Ÿฃ๐Ÿœ๐Ÿ”. Since my friend isnโ€™t a fan of Chinese food, we tried Japanese ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต, Korean ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท dishes, and even McDonaldโ€™s ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ”.

๐Ÿ“Œ Tips:
Useful apps in Beijing include Beijing Subway ๐Ÿš‡, WeChat ๐Ÿ’ฌ, Alipay ๐Ÿ’ฐ, Didi ๐Ÿš—, and ChatGPT ๐Ÿค– (which should be used with a VPN ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ).
