Hi:
It is very cold in winter. You could bring overcoat, down jacket and scarf to protect coldness. I am not certain of snow falling. Do you mean a sale in the shopping mall? Maybe it will.

Beijing has its first snow of this year already, so the weather is very cold now that you need a down jacket and warm shoes at outside. Anyway, keep you as warm as possible.

Hi, I'm travelling end of Oct to Beijing without tour package. I have a 2 year old son. what kind of clothes should I prepare for my son? should i bring scaf, gloves and thermal wear?
I will reach Beijing airport 7am and need to travel to hotel near Tiananmen square. Will there be morning traffic jam and should i wait till off peak hours in airport to take a cab?
It is better to buy individual tour package like great wall, summer palace from beijing hotels or just take a cab and go there to buy tickets?

Mr.kim replied:
1. It will be cold at the end of October; you should bring scarf, gloves and thermal wear for your son.
2. Usually, there will be no traffic jam from airport to city center, you could take taxi or airport express.
3. I suggest you find a legal travel agency to arrange the tour for you, which should be convenient and economical.
