Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1, I know this web from 2008, to improve my English in CS monday meeting which is 20km from my home, i still remember i have to catch the last metro to back. Moreover, hang out with travelers in Beijing.
2, I start to travel in 2010, to save the money, were couched in Europe many times. Thanks for my every host!
3, I start to host people in the end of 2012. I lived with my mum then, for parents, they dont like open to home to others. I persuaded my mum that i will take her to travel in the next year, so you should open our home firstly for exchanging:)
4, After working several years, i travel but not have to find a couch for saving money. I like to host and be hosted, to talk with travelers and locals, to know what is other countries people life, to let others know a normal BJ citizen.

It's close on every monday and the 40,000 tickets will be released before 7 days. Refresh at that website from 20:00 China time, normally reserved out in 5 minutes.. Yes 5 minutes.

2024 July Update by Anna experience, Although there is a ticket control (probably only for domestic tourists), foreigners can go to the ticket office directly without reservation. No worry when you can not reserve and pay on line before 7 days.

Badaling Great Wall:

I would like to recommand a website (https://travel.howlifeusa.com/beijing/). I am not the author but I think this guide are very useful and updated to travellers in Beijing. If I make a infringement, plz point it out.

In China, if you don't have a mobile phone to pay, everything will become very difficult, such as paying, taking a taxi, taking the subway, booking tourist attractions, and so on. Therefore, it is recommended that you download WeChat and Alipay before coming to China, and bind your visa/mastercard. Although the cards of these two credit card organizations cannot be used in most scenarios, try them. As of July 2023, I have a guest who has successfully paid for the bus and site tickets by using Alipay, which is bind to Visa, but cannot purchase a SIM card from a telecommunications shop .So for foreigners, please bring some cash, preferably in small value. Because in most scenarios, Chinese do not have cash on them.
