Beijing First Day Guide
Airport to hotel
Choose one primary airport-to-hotel route and one backup before landing. Your route should match luggage, arrival time, and payment readiness.
What to do
- 1
Decide between taxi, ride-hailing, metro or airport rail, and hotel pickup before landing.
- 2
Save the hotel address in Chinese for drivers or staff.
- 3
If arriving late, prefer a route with fewer transfers and clearer staffed help.
- 4
Keep payment backup ready before entering the pickup or taxi area.
Check before you rely on it
Pickup point or taxi queue is clear before you leave the terminal.
You can contact the hotel if the route changes.
You have enough battery and data for the ride.
