Practical notes
These examples arrive at PEK, not Beijing Daxing (PKX). Keep the hotel address in Chinese, prepare a workable payment method and allow time for attraction reservations. The Saudi passport visa waiver verified here runs only through 31 December 2026; it does not establish entry eligibility for the January 2027 example. Check the official rules before committing to travel. Ask restaurants directly about halal ingredients and preparation.
