Travel Tips for Beijing

Most visitors prefer spring and autumn to visit Beijing due to the mild and comfortable weather. The sporadic sandstorm's in the spring have kept people on alert when they plan their holidays to China. In more recent years Beijing’s spring season is getting better regarding weather conditions and air quality which is ideal for travellers. The winter season is not as bad as most people would think there are fewer visitors and fewer queues.

Beijing is well known to be one of the more expensive cities to visit in China, however with exchange rates its still a great bargain for tourists. Accommodation is generally of high quality, and the prices can be very alluring most especially when you go on a package holiday. Most attractions in the city are also reasonably priced however book your sightseeing private tours before your arrival. Rickshaws, buses and taxis are cheap and frequent.

Arrange your entry and exit visa through your tour travel agent before your arrival into China. There are many immigration restrictions on the purchase of goods and souvenirs you will be given questionnaires to fill in, complete these honestly as delays may occur or you may jeopardise your entry or exit from China. Learn a few phrases in Mandarin like Thank You (xie xie), Hello (nihao), Goodbye (zai jian). Always be aware at all times of your surroundings.

Beijing's climate is defined as "continental monsoon." weather. The four seasons are distinctly recognisable. Autumn in Beijing is beautiful and ideal for sightseeing as the temperature is mild, and the sun is out a lot. The temperature in spring is beautiful, too, but the winds whip sand around the city. Summer can be very hot, and winter is equally cold, and not helped by the winds blowing down directly from Siberia so be prepared for all weathers here.

“ One day with Cathy ”

My wife & I made a short stop in Beijing before boarding a cruise in Port of Tianjin. We only had a one full day in Beijing and decided to get help from guide. Luckily, we found Cathy knowledgeable and charming young woman. Because we had a limited time se arrange a private car for our tour to visit two of the best Beijing attraction Forbidden city and Great Wall. We started with Forbidden City. Cathy pre-arranged tickets for us so we do not waste any time. Forbidden City is always crowded, but Cathy always found a great place for a view. She shared with us a lot of historical and cultural facts and emphasize interesting architectural details. After Forbidden City we left for a Great Wall Mutinyu. On our way Cathy told us the history of the great wall and its construction. Again, we did not need to wait. Everything was pre-arranged. We walked with her on the Great Wall to enjoy the view of the wall and surrounding mountains. On our way back to the Beijing we stopped for a late lunch also pre-arranged by Cathy at authentic restaurant not far from the wall. And that was her another great choice. O, and one more thing she her English is perfect

“ Flexible Family Tour ”

This was our first post-covid family tour bringing together 3 generations of 14 people, from the youngest aged 5 to the oldest aged 75. In spite of the challenges of managing a big group, it was generally well managed despite minor blips on the first day. Very impressed with Cathy’s versatility and flexibility to cater to everyone’s needs and preferences. Cathy has very good experience and was able to navigate the traffic wherever we went, and did not hesitate to tweak the plans to ensure we get the most of our trip. We were able to accomplish most that were planned out in our itinerary and she fully understood our objectives of introducing the Chinese culture and history to our children. Our family had an awesome time, took lots of pictures on the best spot recommended by Cathy, and brought home memories that we’ll cherish for a long time. Thank you, Cathy!

Beijing, a juxtaposition of the exotic orient with its ultra modern avatar is the perfect entry point for a traveller seeking to explore China. Beautiful palaces, ornately decorated temples and expansive green parks overlook impressive high rises and the hustle and bustle of thousands of pedestrians on the boulevards and narrow alleyways. A predominantly mandarin speaking populace entails the need for the experience and interpretative skills of a Beijing Travel Guide. Start your sightseeing with a day trip to The Great Wall of China, an awe inspiring architectural wonder of the ancient world. The Palace Museum otherwise known as the Forbidden City hosts one of the largest museums in Asia, enthralling with its red pagoda buildings surrounded by vast pathways, magnificent gardens. Reaching high into the sky, the multiple round roofs of the Temple of Heaven beckon for a visit, as do the lake and lush gardens of the Summer Palace before being brought back to the structural magnificence of the present at the Olympic Stadium, fondly called the Bird Cage. Join the many locals in the Hutong area as they practice Tai Chi, dance, practice their calligraphy or just relax over a game of mah-jong. This may be an opportune time to participate in a tea tasting or enjoy a well-deserved foot massage before heading to a traditional gastronomic feast of Peking duck.

Tell us your destination, date, and group size.

Our team of travel experts and guides will design a tailored itinerary just for you., enjoy your trip with peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of..

Opinion In China, the App Store is censored. Apple should expose exactly how.

Of the top 10 most downloaded apps worldwide, none are accessible to Chinese users.

private tour guide beijing

In its declaration of support for human rights , Apple states, “We believe in the critical importance of an open society in which information flows freely.” At the same time, Apple remains deeply engaged in China, ruled by a party-state that does not allow information to flow freely. Apple says it must follow local laws, even when they are laws of dictatorship in China and run counter to the company’s human rights commitments.

This tension has existed for years, and a new report examining Apple’s App Store in China shows the consequences. The store lacks many apps available elsewhere in the world, in part because of China’s direct censorship. The report was prepared by Greatfire.org , which monitors and challenges internet censorship in China, in collaboration with Article 19 , which defends freedom of expression globally.

private tour guide beijing

Apps are a huge part of digital life and commerce. Apple says there are 1.8 million apps in the App Store, 734.6 million average weekly visitors, 787 million average weekly downloads and 52.6 billion average weekly automatic app updates. “The App Store is an economic miracle benefiting developers globally,” Apple said in a statement to us. “It facilitated $1.1 trillion in commerce in a single year, including $570 billion in China — 90 percent of which accrued to developers.” What Apple calls “Greater China,” which includes mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, is Apple’s third-largest region by revenue, representing 19 percent of Apple’s total sales last fiscal year.

China’s App Store is the most isolated in the world. According to the new report, of the 108 most downloaded apps worldwide, 55 are not available in China and nine more are available but blocked by the Chinese authorities, rendering them nonfunctional in China, including: Google Maps, YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Messenger, Twitter (now X) and WhatsApp Business. The report also found that of the top 10 most downloaded apps worldwide, none are accessible to Chinese users: Five are not in the App Store, and five are downloadable but blocked.

Games are the globe’s largest overall category of apps, so it is not surprising that they constitute the largest group of apps unavailable in China. Games are subject to strict Chinese licensing requirements. China’s government made 1,285 app takedown requests to Apple last year, of which 1,067 were game apps removed for lack of a legally required license, according to the company’s 2023 App Store transparency report.

Virtual private networks, which allow users inside China to penetrate the Great Firewall and access the internet outside China, are a major category of unavailable apps in China. VPNs must be approved by the state, the new report says. Apple purged the major VPNs from the App Store in 2017. Also unavailable in the App Store are privacy and digital security apps, which offer services such as secure browsing, encryption, protection against cyberthreats and mobile security. A third hard-to-find group is social media and communication apps, which are either unavailable or blocked, including Skype, Viber, Telegram, Signal and WhatsApp. The list of news apps that are censored is long and growing; Chinese authorities often ask Apple to take them down “in response to what they perceive as harmful coverage of China’s politics and current events,” the report says. Many religion apps are also unavailable in the App Store — including those related not only to Tibet and Buddhism but also Christianity, Islam and Judaism, including 11 Torah apps. The report found that availability of LGBTQ+ apps was mixed; some remain in the App Store, while others do not.

Apps might be missing from the App Store for reasons other than direct censorship. Apple says developers often elect to remove their apps from the China store or not to distribute there at all. The report mentions a developer of a Uyghur app as saying he decided not to make it available in the App Store anticipating possible targeting by the Chinese authorities, who have been waging a campaign to wipe out Uyghur culture and language in Xinjiang. The developer was worried about security if local police caught users with his app.

Apple says it must follow local laws in China, even those with which it disagrees, and that it is determined to remain engaged in China, a vital market. But Apple could be more transparent about China’s direct requests for app takedowns from the App Store. Right now, Apple lists the totals but does not say which apps China tried to remove .
