Hi,

I am Singaporean and will be visiting Beijing for the first time from 2 - 6 April with my parents as well as my 3-year-old son on a free and easy itinerary. We will be staying at the Red Wall Forbidden City Hotel. I have done research on attractions to visit. Now I need advice on where is good for eating (trying out Beijing food), night markets or night scene in Beijing as well as some shopping for myself and my husband (cheap & fashionable clothes, bags and shoes).

Also, how can we get to our hotel from the airport in the shortest possible time. This will help me to plan our trip better.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
