East Second Ring Workers' Stadium Area
I booked a windowless room but I was upgraded to a much bigger and nicer room. The location was convenient for the things I wanted to do. Carpets in the hallway are very old and need to be replaced. Other than that, it’s a nice place.

East Second Ring Workers' Stadium Area
This hotel makes people feel at home: it has a warm and homely environment and thoughtful and complete all-weather service. The room is clean and OK. If I have the chance, I will come here again. Looking along the spacious and lively street, the houses on both sides are also very distinctive. It takes only ten minutes to walk to Sanlitun Taikoo Li. Looking at the bustling crowds in Beijing at night and the dazzling shopping malls, I am still not satisfied.

East Second Ring Workers' Stadium Area
The service is really great. The ladies on duty at the front desk at different times are all very polite and considerate. You can also eat in the yard if you order takeout. The weather in Beijing has been very comfortable these two days. The environment is great. The interior environment is very design-oriented. Each one is a detail. There are beautiful ornaments and flowers under the stairs in the front hall, as well as many hand-painted items. It's the first time I've stayed in such a courtyard. It's quite good. The transportation is convenient. There is a bus stop right outside. The room also makes people feel warm. It's a very cost-effective hotel. The room is very clean and the service is enthusiastic at the front desk. The attitude is very friendly and the service is also very good. I will choose here next time [love][love][love]
Harbour International Apartment (Beijing Dongzhimen Gongti Branch)
4.5/5460 Reviews
East Second Ring Workers' Stadium Area
The room is very sci-fi and the lamps are very unique! The facilities are consistent with the pictures, including refrigerators, washing machines, etc.! The high-rise tatami bed is very unique! After returning from traveling, it is very comfortable to sit on the tatami in front of the window, drink tea and chat. The room is well soundproofed, the butler service is attentive, and the luggage is stored for free after check-out.
Sunflower Hotel (Beijing Sanlitun Industrial Park)
3.9/5112 Reviews
East Second Ring Workers' Stadium Area
This is the perfect hotel for you to rest up when exploring the city, it’s nothing fancy but then again you get what you pay for, some rooms are quite small with no windows but then again it’s very likely that you won’t be spending much time in a hotel room instead of exploring the city. Now locating the hotel can be a bit difficult but there’s lots of famous clubs around, so you can enter one of the clubs name and ask any guards you might find by the gate and they’ll gladly help you. And yes they do accept foreigners

Top Things to Do in Beijing

Beijing rocks with top attractions like Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City where ancient emperors once ruled, and Universal Studios Beijing for an epic movie-themed adventure! For your stay, I'd recommend either Haidian or Chaoyang districts – Haidian because it's home to loads of cultural spots and universities, giving you a vibe that's both scholarly and lively, or Chaoyang for its modern flair, skyscrapers, and convenient access to shopping, dining, and nightlife.

Tiananmen Square

Tiananmen Square in Beijing is an incredible open-air museum of Chinese history and culture. Imagine a sprawling plaza that's bigger than a hundred football fields, filled with the energy and spirit of a city that never sleeps. Whether you're exploring Beijing's ancient roots or simply enjoying a stroll, Tiananmen Square delivers an unforgettable experience.

Universal Studios Beijing

Wanna get down to some fun? Universal Studios Beijing is the ultimate thrill ride destination. Enter a world where your favorite movies come to life. Ride alongside Transformers in a high-octane adventure or explore the magical realms of Harry Potter at Hogwarts Castle.

Now, Universal Studios Beijing has officially opened the winter season. The colorful and shining Starry Christmas Tree, the romantic Christmas wreaths will all be on display! Take a stroll along the streets of Hollywood and you will unexpectedly discover that the familiar movie characters have also put on winter costumes.

Where to Stay: Since Universal Studios Beijing is far from the city center, if you're looking for an itinerary more leisurely, consider staying at these hotels near the park that offer free shuttle service, like Jinglanting Hotel (Beijing Wansheng East Subway Station), Park Inn by Radisson Beijing Tongzhou Universal Resort and Jianguo Bocui Hotel (Beijing Universal resort).

Don't miss the Forbidden City's treasure trove of artifacts, showcasing China's rich cultural heritage.

Beijing cuisine is famous for its hearty flavors, love of using local ingredients, and the perfect blend of savory and slightly sweet notes.

Peking Roast Duck (北京烤鸭): Crispy, golden-brown skin wrapped around tender, juicy meat, served with thin pancakes, sweet sauce, and fresh cucumber slices. It's a mouthwatering experience that's a must-have for anyone visiting Beijing.

Mutton Hot Pot (涮羊肉): A communal feast where thin slices of mutton are swirled in boiling broth filled with herbs and spices. Each bite is a celebration of tender meat and savory broth, making it a perfect choice for cold Beijing winters.

Bean Jelly with Syrup (糖耳朵): Sweet, chewy bean jelly treats coated in a glossy syrup, these desserts are not just a treat for the taste buds but also a visual delight. They're perfect for a quick snack or an end-of-meal sweetener.
