What a garbage dump of an airport. The only airport I've ever been in that has a BVULGARI and La Mer right next to a restroom where you have to squat over a literal hole in the ground while your shoes marinate in someone else's urine. The customs agent issuing day visas for those who'd scheduled tours denied a huge group of American tourists. No one could leave the airport for their tour. When asked why, they laughed and said 'No reason.' I refused to leave until I got a reason and the girl just said 'not enough time for tour; tour company want your money, no one leave today.' But it was arbitrary, and they allowed others to leave for the day. Just not the white folks. Security is a mess. They go through your stuff THREE times; they dumped out my entire carryon bag and didn't even look through the stuff; just dumped it out so I could repack it. Some people were allowed to keep their water after customs and immigration, others had it taken away. No rhyme or reason to anything; you're subject to their whims and forced to deal with one rude person after the next. I will never fly through Beijing again.
