      Is this Daxing Airport? If so, it is a new airport that was recently opened. Many international routes are still in the original Capital International Airport, so it is not very busy. Beijing has two international airports. The second one was built because the Capital International Airport was already full

    That vending machine in the subway station with a Qr code on the door, could be paid automatically. You just need to scan the qr code to open the door and grab anything you want. After you close the door, the bill will be paid automatically. You may check the bill afterward on your phone.😊

      As a Chinese, I think Beijing is not a cool city, because it is the capital of China, but there are some great historical buildings, such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, which are magnificent masterpieces of ancient imperial families. I think the coolest cities in China are Shanghai, Chongqing and Shenzhen. If you like mountains and waters, you can go to Hangzhou, Suzhou, Zhangjiajie and Guilin... There are many unique places in China, in short, each city has its own unique cuisine and scenery

      The meal was pretty OK, nothing super special. And naw, we didn't sleep on the plane. We both find it pretty hard to sleep on short flights. I (Mike) HATE flying, so I get all nervous, and Ashley has to be all curled up and comfy to sleep in a vehicle. I can usually fall asleep on really long flights, but mainly because my body shuts down. 🫠
