Beijing Airport Nightmare?
So, I'm flying out of Beijing Capital International Airport next week, and I've heard horror stories about the security lines. Seriously, people say it's like navigating the Great Wall during rush ho… more
Oof, 6 am at PEK is brutal. No secret route, sadly. Your best bet is arriving REALLY early – think 3 hours before your flight, maybe even more. The pre-dawn hours might be slightly less crazy, but it's still PEK. Make sure you've got everything organized – liquids in their bag, boarding pass ready, etc. to speed things up. And maybe download a good audiobook or podcast to keep you sane while you wait. Good luck! You'll need it.
Beijing Opera Mysteries?
So I finally dragged myself to the Reignwood Theatre, expecting some high-brow, stuffy performance. Boy, was I wrong! It was incredible
Yeah, Reignwood Theatre is a bit of a hidden… well, not hidden, but it’s not exactly plastered all over tourist brochures. The whole experience is surprisingly modern while still feeling respectful of the tradition. I was expecting something… stiffer, you know? Glad you had a good time. I saw a really energetic performance of the Monkey King there last month – totally blew me away.
That's awesome! I was worried it might be too tourist-trappy. Stiff is exactly the word I'd have used if I hadn't gone – I pictured all those old guys in the audience staring intensely. The Monkey King, huh? I bet that was incredible. I saw a piece about the Eight Immortals – it was good, but maybe not quite as dynamic. Makes me want to go back and see something different now!
