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!
The mad travel rush should be at a lull. Bring earplugs for the fireworks, though.
