Unforgettable Moments in Beijing — 5-Day Travel Journal

📅 Itinerary Day 1: Arrived at the hotel/hostel I had booked 🏨. Took the subway 🚇 to get there. When using the Beijing subway, I paid with the Alipay app 📱 or a Visa card 💳. Spent the day exploring the neighborhood 🏙️ and doing some shopping 🛍️. Day 2: Woke up early 🌅 and visited the Beijing Zoo 🐅🦁🐻 and Aquarium 🐠🐟. The zoo had all kinds of animals like jackals, lions, and even polar bears 🐾. The aquarium was absolutely stunning 🐬✨. Day 3: Went to the world-famous Universal Studios 🎢🎬! Unfortunately, I forgot my passport 😅. Also, some items like selfie sticks 🤳 and glass food containers 🚫 are not allowed inside. Day 4: Spent the day at the Great Wall 🏯🧱. It’s best to visit when the weather is cool 🌤️ for a more comfortable experience. Day 5: Checked out of the hotel 🛎️ and ended the trip ✈️. 🍴 Food Recommendations: During my stay, I ate at several restaurants on the lower floor of Sanlitun SOHO 🍣🍜🍔. Since my friend isn’t a fan of Chinese food, we tried Japanese 🇯🇵, Korean 🇰🇷 dishes, and even McDonald’s 🍟🍔. 📌 Tips: Useful apps in Beijing include Beijing Subway 🚇, WeChat 💬, Alipay 💰, Didi 🚗, and ChatGPT 🤖 (which should be used with a VPN 🛡️). #deliciousfood #chinatrip #china #beijing #travel #adventure #explorebeijing #foodiejourney #traveldiaries #adventuretime #wanderlust
