Is it safe to travel at night in Beijing?
Yes. It is quite safe to travel around China whenever in day and night. Normally, there are still many people outside after 22:00. However, staying in the crowded place and calling licensed taxi service at night will never go wrong.
Any places suitable for kids to go at night?
If you travel with children, you may consider attending an acrobatic show or a Kung Fu Show which are very interesting for kids. Or you can go for a food street where there are many shops and delicious snacks. While please do stay close with your children at the crowded area.
My flight arrives late, do I still get chance to see the Great Wall or Forbidden City at night?
The closing times of Forbidden City, Mutianyu Great Wall and Badaling Great Wall are at around 16:00, 17:30 and 18:00 respectively. Only for Simatai Great Wall, it has trips from 17:00 to 20:30 at night. However, it takes about 2 hours from airport to Simatai Great Wall and we usually do not recommend night driving for safety concern. So for the trip of Great Wall, we suggest you leave it with enough time and arrange it in the daytime.
I'd like to make some arrangements for my Beijing tour at night. What do you recommend?
If you just want to appreciate the night views and take photos, you may take our private night tour of Beijing to Tiananmen Square, Changan Street, Beijing CBD, Bird's Nest etc.
If you would like to go shopping or relax, you may go for some shopping malls at CBD, or the bar street like Sanlitun or Houhai street.
If you want to explore some night streets, Nanluoguxiang, Wangfujing food street or Wudaoying hutong street would be a good choice.
And if you travel with kids, it might be a good idea to attend some interesting shows like acrobatic show or Kung Fu Show.
