Numerous architectural and structural achievements modified the city for the Summer Olympics, which it hosted in 2008.
Beijing has excellent transport links, so getting around at low cost won’t be a problem. Taxis aren’t expensive, but there’s a real risk of getting stuck in traffic jams at peak times. The best way to get around Beijing is certainly by metro. Fast, cheap and easy to use, this means of transport is widely used by locals. You can also take the bus to the places you want to visit and enjoy the scenery on the way.
Good to know
A trip to Beijing is sure to be a culture shock. As well as language, China is different from the West in many ways. The locals may come to you because they are curious about tourists, especially Westerners. In addition, the use of Google and therefore of platforms such as Facebook or YouTube is not authorized.
Water is not drinkable, so you’ll have to buy bottles or boil water.
The Chinese capital is faced with numerous environmental problems such as water and air pollution. Since the early 1990s, the government has been making greater efforts to protect the environment. It has introduced laws to encourage recycling, standardise environmental impact assessment and energy efficiency, and monitor air pollution.
