Blogger’s Private Tips
1. Forbidden City / National Museum / Chairman Mao Memorial Hall must be booked in advance!
2. Wear comfortable shoes! Average 20,000 steps per day
3. Cha Yan Yue Se is popular but not available in Beijing, you can buy tea bags to take home
4. Want great photos? The Temple of Heaven’s Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests at 7 AM has the fewest people and the best light!
