We start the day in Chengdu at our Hotel the Crowne Plaza Panda Garden before getting a DiDi taxi to Chengdu Train Station.

At Chengdu Dong (Chengdu East) train station we get some food for the journey from Family Mart and then board our train which will take us all the way to Beijing. If you need train tickets for China trains you can get them from Trip.com (link can be found below).

The train journey from Chengdu to Beijing takes 9.5 hours and we were travelling in 2nd class.

At Beijing we catch the subway all the way to Qun Fang (Near Universal Studios Beijing) and then walk to our Hotel the Park Inn by Radisson Universal Resort.
