Update on July 22 ( July 21 in the U.S ):
Here's my personal experience and tips, hope this could make sense for your travel in Beijing:
- The subway security check
My experience: The line 10 subway in Beijing is now also asking people to take security checks.
Tip: Please don't bring strange "liquid" with you, or you will be asked to take a taste ( what if that's your urine for a health check? ) - The university security check
My experience: The UIBE (University of International Business and Economics) is asking people who enters its campus for related "credentials".
Tip: Please find a student who studies in the specified university you wanna enter. Or you may have to fill a very complicated form :)
Though we all know that "security checks" are only a palliative (measure) in the fight against terrorism, we have to face something sometimes, here is the picture:
(I am sorry that the picture is removed for unknown reasons)
Anyway, I don't care about the Games itself much, nor do I care about the politics, I just how that everyone can be safe and undisturbed.
