Perfect China Transit: From Daxing to the Forbidden City

#chinatransit Landing at Beijing Daxing International Airport, I was immediately impressed by its futuristic design. Nicknamed the “Starfish”, the massive terminal made transit seamless, and within no time, I was on the Daxing Airport Express heading toward the city center. Arriving in the heart of Beijing, I made my way to the iconic Forbidden City. Stepping through the Meridian Gate, I was transported into China’s imperial past. The vast courtyards, golden rooftops, and intricate red walls reflected centuries of history. Climbing up Jingshan Park, I took in a breathtaking panoramic view of the entire palace complex, a sight that made the journey even more rewarding. From the world’s most advanced airport to China’s grandest imperial palace, this transit was more than just a layover—it was a seamless blend of modern efficiency and timeless history.
