In this detailed 72-hour Beijing itinerary, travel couple Kieran and Ollie share their first-time experience exploring China's capital. They begin with a smooth arrival at PEK Airport, using DD (the Chinese Uber) to reach their hotel. Their first stop is the Bell and Drum Towers, where they learn these were the city's ancient timekeeping center. After climbing steep stairs, they enjoy panoramic views and then wander into a nearby hutong street, snacking on a yogurt cheese bun and a beef pie.
Next, they visit Beihai Park, one of China's oldest imperial gardens, with its iconic white pagoda. They marvel at the lotus-shaped boats on the lake. Later, they head to Wangfujing Street, a massive pedestrian shopping area, where they try tanghulu (candied strawberries) and watch a 3D advertising screen. They note the snack street seemed closed but still enjoyed the vibe.
