Beijing Zoo & Panda House
Skip the paid animal show tickets at the entrance — the free exhibits are better and less crowded.
Great Wall at Mutianyu
Book the toboggan ride tickets in advance online — they sell out on weekends and you do not want that tantrum.
Summer Palace
Take the subway (Line 4, Beigongmen Station) — driving means parking chaos on weekends.
Happy Valley Beijing
Buy the express pass if you are going on a weekend — it costs about the same again but saves 3+ hours of standing in line.
Beijing Aquarium
Combine with Beijing Zoo on the same day since it is inside the complex; buy the combo ticket for a 20% discount.
