Navigating PEK
So, I'm flying into Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK) next month. I've heard horror stories about the sheer size of the place and navigating between terminals. My flight arrives at Terminal… more
The airport shuttle bus is your best bet. It's frequent, relatively cheap, and clearly marked. Don't rely on signs alone though; ask someone working at the airport if you're unsure. Even with the language barrier, pointing at your boarding pass and saying "Terminal 2?" usually works. Give yourself plenty of time. PEK is massive, and even with the shuttle, it'll take a while. Seriously, factor in at least two hours for the transfer, maybe even more. Better safe than sorry!
Yeah, I've heard that about PEK – it's a beast! Two hours sounds about right, maybe even more during peak times. Thanks for the tip about the shuttle bus and asking someone for help; I'd probably just wander around clueless for ages otherwise. I'll definitely pack extra patience... and snacks. Don't want to be hangry navigating that maze!
Beijing Museum Mysteries

That's a fascinating find! The National Museum of China is HUGE, so spotting a recurring motif across different dynasties is seriously impressive detective work. It sounds like you've stumbled onto something potentially significant, though unfortunately I don't recognize the symbol from my own visits. Have you tried contacting the museum directly? Their website might have resources or contact info for scholars who specialize in that era's artifacts. Failing that, a good quality photo might get some traction on academic forums or image-identification sites online. Good luck with your hunt – I'm eager to hear what you uncover!
