Best way to get to Beijing Wildlife Park in 2026?
the safari bus from the south gate is cheaper than driving ur own car & u still get the same views of the lions. tbh the whole thing eats a full day, leave by 8 or the line at the ticket window gets rough
Agree on the bus, but book tickets on the WeChat mini program the night before, the 8am window queue is mostly people buying on-site.
Same mini program has combo tickets, saves about 30 yuan.
mini program works but pick the date carefully, weekends in april sell out days ahead and u cant change it once booked. also screenshot ur qr code, signal near the gate is patchy
yeah but the 943 bus from Huangcun drops u right at the north gate, saves the taxi fare from the center
Skip the safari drive, walking zone's better value.
Walking zone closes at 5 sharp, start there first.
Fair point but do the safari loop first thing, the animals are actually active before the heat and crowds show up.
Best coffee near Roastery No. 7 in Beijing 2026
The trek's only worth it if you go before 9, otherwise the Gulou crowd makes it a zoo. I still prefer the little cart by Beixinqiao station for a flat white, honestly cheaper and just as solid. Beans at No. 7 are good but teh wait is real.
yeah that cart's solid but tbh i've switched to the tiny place on Yonghegong dajie, opens at 7 & no queue. No. 7's beans still better for pour over though, just not worth a weekend morning
Which tiny place on Yonghegong dajie? I know the one near the Confucius Temple corner but there's another closer to the Lama Temple exit. Want to try it before work, 7am opening is exactly what I need.
Good call on the pour over. Grab a bag of their Yunnan beans and brew at home, saves the queue entirely. Weekday mornings that little spot is empty by 8 anyway.
You're right about the before 9 thing. One detail though: No. 7 does a decent filter for 28 kuai, which the carts can't match. I'd still grab the cart flat white on weekdays and save No. 7 for when I actually want the beans.
28 for a filter is fair, but they only brew it after 10 on weekdays so it's not really a morning option. if u want beans without the queue grab a bag to go and brew at home, the retail shelf is right by the door
Cart guy's flat white is 18 kuai now, went up in spring
still 15 kuai last i checked tho
18 as of last week, sorry.
Second this, that queue never lies.
