The Situation

Upon arrival at 北京首都国际机场 (Beijing Capital International Airport | Běijīng Shǒudū Guójì Jīchǎng), Travelers fill out their 入境卡 (entry card | rùjìng kǎ) and proceed to 临时入境 (temporary entry | línshí rùjìng) clearance. At immigration, there is 指纹录取 (fingerprinting | zhǐwén lùqǔ), followed by a brief 检疫 (quarantine check | jiǎnyì). Many go to the 免税店 (duty-free shop | miǎnshuì diàn) to do some quick shopping before collecting their luggage.

The 旅客申报 (passenger declaration | lǚkè shēnbào) area is next, where some declare items for 纳税 (taxation | nàshuì). After a thorough 行李检查 (luggage inspection | xínglǐ jiǎnchá), they use 公共Wi-Fi (public Wi-Fi | gōnggòng Wi-Fi) to check 货币汇率 (currency exchange rates | huòbì huìlǜ) and locate the nearest ATM取款 (ATM withdrawal | ATM qǔkuǎn) machines. Some travelers who have pre-booked 接机服务 (airport pickup service | jiējī fúwù) meet their drivers in the arrival hall.

Outside, they buy a 交通卡 (transportation card | jiāotōng kǎ) for city transportation and use 城市导航 (city navigation | chéngshì dǎoháng) apps to find their way. Many have already arranged 住宿预订 (accommodation booking | zhùsù yùdìng) and search 旅游咨询 (tourist information | lǚyóu zīxún) for 出行建议 (travel tips | chūxíng jiànyì). Some ask for 行李搬运 (luggage porter service | xínglǐ bānyùn).
