Beijing For Kids
|
|
Tips in this Tour:
 | The Chinese love children. They love to fuss over babies, toddlers or older children, especially if they have blonde hair. Don't be surprised if they want to have their picture taken with your children. |
| The "D" stands for ditie, which is Mandarin for "subway." Subway stations are frequently located at intersections, but are not marked "subway" in English. Instead look for a big "D" inside a circle. |
| Always take your hotel’s business card with the name and address written in Chinese characters. Show it to the taxi driver when you're ready to return to your hotel. |
| Bring disposable plastic forks if you don't think you can manage chopsticks; small neighborhood restaurants probably won't have any. Don't worry about holding your chopsticks properly; if you can feed yourself, you're doing fine. |
| Street food in Beijing can be fun, tasty, filling and cheap. Just make sure the vendor’s snack stand is relatively clean. And never buy kebobs unless they’re on disposable wooden skewers. |
