Or if you live in Houhai, you can take bus No. 5 in the morning and get to Tiananmen Square in 15 minutes.

3. Beijing’s subway is more convenient. If you are in the urban area, you can choose taxis and subways. To go to distant places (such as the Great Wall), there are special tourist lines in the urban area. Of course, the way to save worry is to find a local travel agency and do activities with the group, but this will inevitably lead to a lack of freedom, or you can rent a car on a daily basis, which is naturally more expensive, but it is much easier. Although there are many buses , you can get a 40% discount if you use the card, but I don’t recommend it unless you want to experience the wonders of Beijing’s traffic jams, haha!
