Visitors from non-visa-exempt countries must apply for an L tourist visa in advance (it's advisable to do so at least one month before departure). You can visit the Beijing International Services website to check visa types, such as the L tourist visa, and obtain a list of required documents.
2. Can I use credit cards in Beijing? How to set up mobile payments without a Chinese bank account?
Mobile payments cover 95% of scenarios but typically require a Chinese bank card (some foreign cards are supported). Solution: At the Capital Airport Terminal 3 "Payment Service Center", activate payment functions with your passport and obtain a temporary SIM card.
Carry 200-500 yuan in cash: some temples, small vendors, and lockers only accept cash.
Internet access: some international websites (like Google) require a VPN; it is advisable to install one in advance.
3. How does one go about booking tickets for popular attractions such as the Forbidden City? Are there any recommended itineraries for exploring Beijing?
Popular venues such as the Forbidden City and the National Museum require reservations 3-7 days in advance, as no tickets are available for same-day entry (note that the Forbidden City is closed on Mondays).
Reservations can be made through official channels: the "Palace Museum" mini-program on WeChat or their website with an English interface. Alternatively, you may contact us for booking; we also provide transportation services between your hotel and the attractions.
We offer one-day tours of Beijing’s essential sights, including the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and the Hutongs, as well as comprehensive Beijing tours. Alternatively, you can start from Beijing and journey to popular destinations such as Xi'an, Tianjin New Port, Datong, Pingyao, Zhangjiajie, Chengdu, and Guilin.
