Beijing Warnings Or Dangers
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Change Money: Currency
  • Tip Rating:
  • I found the hotel was not so keen to change RMB (local currency) back into other currencies, so don’t change too much to start with.

    Health: Water
  • Tip Rating:
  • Only a few hotels can offer quality tap water. It is advised to have flasks of hot and cooled boiled water in the room. Bottled mineral water is widely available.

    Toilets: Public Toilets
  • Tip Rating:
  • Some public toilets do not provide toilet paper, of if they do, you must pay for it. It is wise to carry a pack of facial tissues in your purse or pocket. In addition, it is usually much more comfortable to use the toilets in large hotels than the ones along the street - a clothes peg is needed for even being in the vicinity.

    I believe the city will be tidying up their toilets in their bid for the Olympics.

    Pollution: Pollution
  • Tip Rating:
  • Pollution can get a bit bad around the city. After walking all day I was covered in grit and my white shirt was a distinctive grey.

    Safety: Crime and Safety
  • Tip Rating:
  • The crime rate is not too bad in China and fairly low. Always be aware in crowded areas including transport, of petty theft such as pick pocketing and guard your valuables, keep your bags zipped and wallets out of hip pockets.
