Letting in Beijing & the Great Wall
Rules and licensing
Foreign guests must be registered with the local police within 24 hours of arrival, which hotels do automatically and private hosts frequently do not — staying somewhere unregistered creates a problem for the guest, not just the host. Many residential compounds prohibit short-term letting outright.
Tourist tax
No separate bed tax; VAT applies to accommodation.
How the year is shaped
September and October are the best weeks of the year. Winter is cold and dry, summer hot and humid, and the national holidays in early October fill everything.
Who books here
Sightseeing stays of three or four nights. Proximity to a subway line matters more than anything, because the city is enormous.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
