It can rain anytime, so always carry an umbrella. 2. The first floor of Hongyadong is extremely crowded at night. Avoid going down lightly and don’t take the internal elevator to the first floor as the queue is long. It’s also hard to get a taxi there and traffic jams are common, so avoid hailing taxis at this spot. 3. Around Jiefangbei, beware of fake security guards who offer to guide you to restaurants; these are scams, do not follow them. 4. For attractions with “Museum” in their name, confirm in advance whether reservations are required to avoid wasted trips.
