Sichuan Spiciness?

Heard it's the real deal, authentic Sichuan food. My friend who lived there for years swears by it, said their mapo tofu is legendary...but he also has a ridiculously high spice tolerance. So, my question is: what's the actual spice level like for someone with a moderately sensitive palate? I don't want my mouth to spontaneously combust, you know? I'm thinking of getting the dan dan noodles, but I'm scared of ordering something I can't handle. Hope they have some decent Tsingtao on tap, too.

Yeah, that place near the Lama Temple is the spot for Sichuan in @Beijing. My friend's description sounds about right, legendary mapo tofu is no exaggeration. But seriously, their spice level isn't a joke. Even for someone with a decent tolerance, their "medium" is probably gonna be a "hot" for most people. The dan dan noodles... prepare for a fiery journey. I'd suggest starting with a smaller portion, maybe even asking them to go easy on the spice. They usually have a few levels, so definitely ask what they'd recommend for someone who's not a chilihead. As for the Tsingtao... yep, always on tap and ice cold. Enjoy, but maybe pack some yogurt just in case.

olympic forest park is slept on fr. the linden trees along the main axis go gold in late october and the bird's nest reflection in the lake at sunrise is nuts, barely anyone there on weekdays. also check out 798 art district on a weekday morning, the old factory pipes and graffiti make great contrast shots. tbh bring a wider lens than u think you need, everything in beijing is bigger than it looks in photos

everyone goes for the big landmarks but honestly the best shots i got were from the overpasses on the 3rd ring road at dusk, just traffic light trails with CCTV tower lit up in the background. also guomao at blue hour from the silk street footbridge, the CBD towers all glassy & orange, tripod helps cuz u need a slow shutter. one thing nobody mentions, air quality totally changes your photos so check the AQI app the night before, a clear day after rain is worth waiting for

For sunrise the Temple of Heaven east gate area is underrated, locals doing tai chi around 5:30am with the morning fog, way better than fighting crowds at Tiananmen. For sunset honestly just walk along the canal near Shichahai, the reflections off the water with the Drum Tower behind are hard to beat. Bring a tripod if you can, the good light only lasts like 20 mins this time of year.
