16 Hour Overnight Train to Beijing + Summer Palace & Michelin Peking Duck

We kick off this one with a 16 hour overnight train from Shanghai to Beijing — sharing a cabin, making friends with locals, and somehow ending up teaching a group of Chinese passengers how to play Uno! Overnight sleeper trains are one of the best budget travel experiences in China and this one did not disappoint. Once we arrive in Beijing: the Summer Palace, Michelin-guide Peking duck, and Beijing’s coolest street art at the 798 Art District. We wander the Summer Palace’s lakes and pavilions (the imperial garden that will make you feel like royalty), then treat ourselves to Michelin guide Peking duck — a Beijing food bucket list must. We finish the day at 798 Art District, Beijing’s abandoned-factory-turned-street-art-and-gallery hub. If you’re planning a Beijing itinerary, wondering what an overnight train in China is really like, looking for the best Peking duck restaurant, or want to know what to do in Beijing besides the Great Wall — this one’s for you. 🚂 Shanghai to Beijing overnight sleeper train 🃏 Teaching Uno to Chinese train friends 🏯 Summer Palace Beijing 🦆 Michelin guide Peking duck 🎨 798 Art District street art 👉 Subscribe for more China travel guides and budget backpacking tips! #OvernightTrain #ChinaTrainTravel #Beijing #SummerPalace #PekingDuck #798ArtDistrict #ChinaTravelVlog #ChinaFood #BackpackingChina #ShanghaiToBeijing
