Step by step

  1. Confirm whether you arrive at PEK or PKX before choosing a hotel district.
  2. Save the hotel address in Chinese and English, including district name.
  3. Use Airport Express if the timing and luggage are easy.
  4. Use taxi, Didi, or hotel transfer when landing late or going far across the city.
  5. Keep the first evening light because airport-to-hotel time can stretch in Beijing.
