Ultimate Packing List for Travelling to Beijing
What are the most essential items that are crucial for travelers when heading to Beijing?
Here are a few items that is not only important but handy to bring in case of emergencies!
Internet Connection
Pocket WiFi is not uncommon for travelers. It is convenient to use and bring around. Some of people might not have access to Pocket WiFI from their country or it costs more expensive. Although WiFi connection is everywhere in Beijing, to be safe from unwanted trouble, it will be better for us to have our own internet connection. Another option is to buy phone number that include internet packages in Beijing Airport. This could help you a lot when you encounter talking with Chinese people and might help you search the transportation that you need.
Cash
It would not hurt you to bring some cash since a lot of little shops in Beijing don’t accept credit card for payments. Make sure you have small change with you to pay and beware to check your RMB 100 bills before you pay and after you pay. Although the laws in Beijing is strict, it is better to be safe than sorry.
Sneakers
Since travelling in Beijing means that you will walk a lot, especially in tourists’ place such as The Great Wall. Sneakers will help your feet to feel at ease to walk the next day.
Your own medication
Be sure to bring the necessary medication you need for situations of emergency, especially if you have allergies or minor sickness. The new environment and new food can be difficult for some people to adapt so it is best to bring some basic medicine for digestion or for a cold.
Tissues (available everywhere in Beijing)
You don't have to bring this from home, this list is to remind you to purchase them from the supermart when you get to China. Public toilets in Beijing do not provide tissues. Keep some wet wipes in your bag too.
GPS Tool for those love hiking in outskirts Beijing
Have you ever been stressed at the thought of seeing 5% battery left in your phone while hiking in the middle of nowhere? Having no signal when lost while exploring? A GPS tool is extremely useful when faced with these challenges, because newer devices such as GoHeart not only acts as a GPS traceable for other members, it is able to send SOS, Voice Messaging and texts, along with a built in Walkie-Talkie function, you can broadcast your message right away without pressing a button!

Seasons are also one of the factors that need to be considered when packing your stuff.
Winter in Beijing is not like in any other cities, the weather feels really dry and some of the day will be joined by polluted air. Some essentials stuff that you need to consider to bring for your travel.
Thick Winter Clothes: Temperature will reach below -0 degree Celsius.
Moisturizer: Cold temperature cause our skin to lose moisture and Beijing’s air quality is really dry. Not enough moisture can cause our skin to cracked.
