Photo Equipment: Beijing - albeit photogenic - is rather heavily polluted and you shouldn't expect blue sky and sunshine too often. Choose your film accordingly.

Miscellaneous: Lonely Planet's new book on Beijing (ISBN 1-86450-144-8) was published in January 2001. I've found it quite useful and so would you I guess.

Umbrella and Water Mist Spray

MarianneRules 43 reviews

Miscellaneous: If it’s hot when you go to visit, buy an umbrella when you get there. It’s a life saver in that sun. We also had water spray..one of those things I almost didn’t bring that ended up being invaluable!

Luggage and bags: Beijing is a temperate climate so you must pack according to the season, ranging from heavy clothing in the winter for below zero temps to light clothing for the summer heat.
