From Toronto to Beijing Daxing
KSquared returns to China with a visa that allows visits to multiple cities. The trip begins at Toronto Pearson Airport, where even the economy area includes high-end designer shops. The flight includes a layover at Guo airport. KSquared walks through duty-free shops, many of which are closed because it is early in the morning, before continuing to Beijing.
Beijing Daxing International Airport is a major part of the arrival. KSquared describes the airport as new and futuristic, with striking architecture, high ceilings, and a wide range of luxury brands. Real-time displays show taxi availability and traffic information, while baggage claim status helps travelers locate their luggage. English signage appears throughout the airport and makes it easier to navigate. The airport's design and technology are different from what KSquared expected based on media portrayals of China.
