Just landed in Beijing? Here’s

Just landed in Beijing? Here’s how to make your transit through Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) feel like a mini spa stopover 🛬✨ The ultra-modern design is instantly mood-lifting, but even better are the affordable (and totally worth it) relaxation options scattered throughout the airport.

Top Ways to Beat Jet Lag at Beijing Daxing Airport:

1. Massage Chair Paradise – You’ll find rows of massage chairs in every terminal wing, and they won’t break the bank (¥20-¥40 for 20 minutes). Pro tip: The ones near domestic arrivals are usually less crowded!
2. Foodie Refuel – Whether it’s grabbing bubble tea, sampling local dumplings, or chilling with a coffee, Daxing’s F&B outlets are legit. There’s a Starbucks, Luckin Coffee, and plenty of Chinese snack stalls open from early morning until late night.
3. Eye-Candy Architecture – The starfish-shaped terminal is as photogenic as they come. If you need a quick mood boost (or an Instagram-worthy shot), stroll under the sun-drenched atrium skylights, especially stunning in the late afternoon.
4. Luxe Lounging – Even without business class perks, you can book your way into a lounge (like BGS Premium Lounge, 24/7, Level 2) for WiFi, snacks, showers, and that homey couch vibe.
Getting Around: PKX is so efficiently designed that everything you need is within a 10-minute walk. Use the airport’s shuttle buggy if you’ve got heavy bags or tight transfers.

Extra Airport Hacks:
– Free WiFi throughout (but you’ll need a phone number for quick sign-up)
– Currency exchange counters and ATMs are on Level B1
– Most shops and restaurants accept digital payments—bring Alipay or WeChat Pay!
