Wala na. I'm assuming kasama na yung pinost mo sa airfare.

Semi amazing-race mode. 5 days will definitely be more relaxed.

Day 1 evening you can also go somewhere pa. Kung ayaw niyo puro Chinesey spots, you can go to Tianjin for half a day.

My impression of Beijing

[doveaddict_11]

Hi I am a newbie here. Meron ang RT to Beijing on October 27 to November 4. Questions lang po...

1. I will be staying in HAIDAN DISTRICT- accessible po ba sya sa subway ilang mins po bago makarating ng subway? Madali lang ba puntahan ang TIANJIN, FC, Beijing ZOO, GREAT WALL, TEMPLE OF HEAVEN and HUTONG? first time ko mag travel po sa Beijing.

Thanks in advance

Districts in Beijing are huge with some probably as big as Metro Manila.

Saan exactly in Haidian? You can search the address in Google Maps to see if there's a nearby subway station.

Parang may mali sa address niyo. Saan niyo nakuha yung address?

Saan niyo nakuha yang hotel na yan? Sa internet palang ang konti na ng info tungkol sa hotel.

It seems like a really old and small hotel. Ang daming matinong hotel sa Beijing sana yun matino-tino ang pinili niyo.

Yes, this is just a 2 star hotel but really good daw. Recommended by my friend who stayed there 9 months ago. And he tried this hotel 2x already kaso itong friend ko na destino sa Germany, kaya wala sya pag punta nmin dun. So kami lang talaga with my officemate pupunta as in adventure talaga! Kaya Im so glad I found this thread and Im doing the back read enjoy basahin ang mga reports ng mga nag post and nakaka excite tuloy. Nag babago tuloy isip namin na palitan ang hotel namin hehe..

[commoner]

Ito lang masasabi ko, I don't trust hotels that are barely listed online specially when there are like 1,000 hotels in Beijing to choose from.

Mainam yung listed and reviewed sa Tripadvisor.com.

How did you book the hotel? And you need to check the address, mali yung nakuha niyo.

Madaming hostel na nasa hutong.

No need to stay somewhere na walking distance to FC, mas importante malapit sa subway station.

You can try Peking Yard Hostel. I stayed there before. It's located along a Hutong and walking distance from a metro station. The hostel has a very nice ambience and it is clean too. You can visit my Beijing post on my blog but it is not detailed. If you'll consider it, you can book it via hostelworld.

reasonable na ba yung airport pickup service of 100RMB (excluding parking fee) from airport to red lantern house?

dati kasi 80RMB lang yung discounted rate nya. kaso dahil nga daw sa gas increase kaya nag-mahal na din sila.

magkano pala yung parking fee? baka mahal din.

around 3-4pm naman yung arrival namin. mas tipid ba mag-taxi?
worry ko lang kasi baka maligaw pa.
pag-train or bus ba di ba hassle kasi may dalang maleta pa. tsaka higher chances na maligaw?

thanks

Yes it is reasonable even with parking fee.

Taxi will probably cost you around 80RMB assuming you don't get lost.

Kung hindi ka solo traveler the cost is practically just the same, kahit mas mahal ng konti. Unless talagang sobrang tight ng budget niyo.

i see. so kunin na namin ano? parking for 2 hours is 20RMB ata.
so 120RMB total, and we don't get lost pa

pag bus/train naman, i know it's cheaper. pero half the price ba?
2 persons kami.
budget traveller din kami, so kung saan mas makatipid, dun kami. ayaw lang namin too much hassle

16RMB per person yung bus, with taxi maybe around 60-70RMB for the both of you so yes half price.

Problema lang sa bus is intimidating siya. Mula sa ticket counter hanggang sa bus driver hindi marunong magenglish.

Kung ako sa inyo just get the service of Red Lantern.

[putoti]

^^ Get the service na of Red Lantern para walang hassle. Medyo mahirap daw hanapin ng taxi sa gabi ang location ng Red Lantern. D naman siguro aabutin ng 2 hrs ang parking. Kami dati delayed ang flight pero d naman 20 RMB ang siningil for parking - yung minimum lang.
