Staying in Beijing from Singapore: Tian'anmen and Wangfujing for Sightseeing

Wangfujing is Beijing's most famous shopping street, touristy but convenient and close to the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, with large malls such as Beijing apm and Dongan Market and the Wangfujing Snack Street. Lines 1, 5 and 8 serve it through Wangfujing, Dengshikou and Jinyu Hutong stations, with Tian'anmen East on Line 1 for the square, and the Forbidden City, the National Museum of China and Zhongshan Park are all within walking distance of Tian'anmen.

Yitel (Beijing TiananmenWangfujing Subway Station) is a 3-star hotel from S$34 with an address on Wangfujing Street, and guests call the location convenient and say it is easy to get around. UrCove by HYATT Beijing Forbidden City, whose listing names the Forbidden City, costs S$120 for a 4-star room with the same two comments. JianGuo Hidden Hotel （Beijing Tian An Men Wangfujing store） on Jinyu Hutong has the highest rate of the nine at S$137, and guests mention easy transport and a nearby metro station, so the price gap over the others buys the hotel itself and not extra convenience. UrCove by HYATT Beijing Forbidden City lists Hualong Street, and Yitel (Beijing TiananmenWangfujing Subway Station) sits in the Gongmei Building at No. 200 Wangfujing Street. Tian'anmen is quiet after dark with limited nightlife, and Wangfujing is crowded, noisy and pricey. For a bigger budget, see the luxury hotels in Beijing page.
