On my first day in Beijing, I was hit with a mix of excitement and a few unexpected challenges. Navigating the city’s fast pace was tricky at first, but I’ll tell you exactly what to do to make your trip smoother. I kicked off by visiting some of the most iconic landmarks, like the Forbidden City the scale of history blew me away. Along the way, I met some incredible locals who made the experience even more special—friendly, helpful, and always ready to share their culture.

It’s time to find some food now
