Summary

Beijing in 72 Hours is designed for travelers to get the best knowledge on the capital of China.

Beijing is one of the largest cities in the world, and it is impossible to see everything in 72 hours. Where do you go first? What do you want to see and do the most? Walk along the Great Wall of China, explore the Forbidden City, wander through the hutongs, or take a boat trip on Lake Kunming at the Summer Palace? With so much to see and do, what do you do?

This audiobook is designed to help you with your dilemma. It first takes you through the process of understanding and applying for the invaluable 72-hour visa-free transit policy and the rules surrounding it.

Learn more about the top attractions in the city, from the glorious Forbidden City, the iconic Tienanmen Square, or the graceful Summer Palace where the Qing emperors would spend the summer months to escape the oppressive heat, the Temple of Heaven, the various shopping districts, and many more!

Some of the things you will learn:

  • How to apply for the 72-hour visa-free transit policy for Beijing, which is different from other Chinese cities!
  • Learn more about the attractions and sites in Beijing, including their history, architecture, and what makes them so special
  • Understand the local cuisine and the various snacks, beverages, and dishes that makes dining so unique
  • Discover the best places to shop, with sections on the main shopping districts

Helpful

The info is helpful. I just wish it had a little more history behind the memorials. I guess that's what you get if you buy the larger, fatter travel books. Overall it was a good book.

Wonderful plan!

Traveling to China for a wedding later this year. Will use the tips in this book while in Beijing. Didn't know there are so many access points to the Great Wall.

Excellent!

Gives good information on the main sites, is not verbose, map is decent but it does not cover as much of the city as you would like - it only covers the city core, and everything beyond it is not in it. Get this book, and you are all set.

Fantastic plan!

I love looking through travel audiobooks and deciding where to go on vacations. This audiobook has some gorgeous information which makes it a lot of fun going through it. There are several possible itineraries that hit several of the top destinations. In addition to the details about where to visit, there are also a lot of pertinent travel tips, specifically for Beijing.

In this book you will find everything including tourist sites and food, enough information to plan and use your free time efficiently, lots of tips to make your visit easier and more enjoyable, and just enough information about lodging and dining establishments to give you an idea of what's available if you need it. It's well-organized and -illustrated and will help with planning as well as during a trip.

Great reference!

I have a few bucket list destinations we are trying to schedule in the next few years and Beijing is high on the list. This book did a good job of getting our dreams going. I think it will become a good reference.

Great for the small tour

If you're planning a touristic trip to Beijing, you are most likely going on a preplanned tour. Beijing in 72 Hours has what you need.

Awesome for traveling in Beijing

40. This is a very good audiobook for an overview of traveling in Beijing – not every part of the city is covered in depth – that would be a much bigger audiobook. But the most visited parts of the city are covered. This is really good for giving ideas & planning.
