China experts, need some advice. Have a last minute trip through PEK next week, didn't realize it was CNY until today.

I'm arriving on AA into PEK at 11:30p, Jan. 23. Departing the next day around 4pm on KA. Using the 24 hr. TWOV.

Original plan was to taxi it to the Hilton Wangfujing and get a decent night's sleep. Wake up early, have a nice morning wandering around the city before heading back to the airport. Never been to Beijing before.

Now, all the talk here of everyone trying to 'get out of BJ' has me worried. Trying to get a gauge on how much of a zoo or non-zoo the city will be. Alternate plan is to just get a room a the Hilton PEK Airport and an earlier KA flight out the next day.

Any insight is appreciated!
