Travel Tips:
1. Wear casually and pay attention to the climate in Beijing.
2. The Chinese love fireworks, and before, during and after Chinese New Year, everyone sets off huge quantities of fireworks and firecrackers. Take great care while you are out walking even on busy city-centre streets. If you are tempted into buying fireworks, make absolutely sure you know how to light them.
3. With buses, cars, semis, bicycles and pedestrians moving in every direction, road crossings can be daunting.
