16.12.19 Beijing (flight-hotel-flight)

Diterbitkan: 15.01.2020

As always on time with Air China, the plane lands in Beijing at 11:25 am. Snowfall at 0 degrees. Due to this and also because it gets dark at 3:30 pm, I decide not to go on a tour of the city and transfer to my day hotel. 

For this, you have to go through the visa formalities for a 144-hour stay. So fill out an application at the airport, wait at two counters, have your hand luggage scanned again, then take a train for 6 minutes to Terminal 3 and then look for an Air China counter that only deals with hotel transfers. 

The lady there - no wonder - does not speak English, but she finds me based on my booking number. Unfortunately, I received a rejection for the usually used Crown Plaza for Business Class this year and I am now booked at the Airport Yuanghang International Hotel Beijing. First, I get a tag like a solo traveling child 😁 and have to sit on a bench to wait for the shuttle pick-up. 

2 hours after landing I am already in bed. The bathroom is worth seeing: The radiator is in the shower 😁 and next to it - in the middle of the water jet - there is a poorly insulated pipe coming out of the wall. 

Shower with radiator and a power line coming out of the wall next to the lower pipe :-D

8.5 hours break until the transfer back to the airport. The hotel has extremely comfortable beds, is well heated and has free Wi-Fi that works properly. Overall not a bad thing. However, everything here is exclusively labeled in Chinese. 

I take the shuttle back to the airport at 9:30 pm. Now I have to go backwards again with the train, through immigration control, security, and eventually I'm back on the plane to New Zealand for the longer leg of the journey - flight duration 12.5 hours.
