Yes, you could park your car at the airport. The charge is CNY70/24 hours, so I think you should pay for CNY490 for a week. Just for your reference~

My daughter and I will be arriving in Beijing Capital Airport on Saturday around 7AM at Terminal 3 and need to go to Hilton Wangfujing. What is the best way to go..bus or train? I know the train takes about 20 minutes, how long does the bus take?
Also what is the best way to go from Wangfujing to the Summer Palace?
thank you for your help

Hi, Mr.Elie, you may take the airport express and shift to subway line 1 at Dongzhimen Station, then get off at Wangfujing Station. Get out from Exit A (northest exit) and walk north Wangfujing Street for around 600m, you will find the hotel just nearby Beijing apm (Xindongan Shopping Mall).
Or, you may take the airport shuttle bus no2 and get off at Chaoyangmen Stop, then take a taxi to get to the hotel (the taxi fee is around CNY15.00). If so, it takes a round 1 hour.
From the hotel to the summer palace, you could take subway line 1 at Wangfujing Station and transfer to subway line 4 at Xidan Station, then get off subway line 4 at Beigongmen Station and walk out from Exit D, you could easily find the North Gate of Summer Palace.

Hi,
I'll be in Beijing from 4Dec to 11Dec. I'm planning to buy my winter cloth once I arrive there. Could you please advise where is the best place to buy winter cloth (COLUMBIA,NORTH FACE) so that I can just ask my tour guide straightly go there and buy. I’m planning to buy a good quality winter cloth. Although most of the item is fake, but could you please let me know where to find the good one?
