Step 1: Book your international flights from Auckland and New Zealand to Beijing
If you are going to visit Beijing from Wellington New Zealand to Beijing, the first and most important is to book your New Zealand Beijing air-tickets.

If possible, directly contact the airlines to get the first hand air-tickets for better prices.
After your New Zealand Beijing international flights are reserved, your next important job is to pre-book your hotel in Beijing. As your know, there are over 800 hotels ranging from 1 to 5 star hotels in Beijing. That means you have a challenging job to find an ideal hotel. You can still ask your travel agent in New Zealand to do it for you. Or you may look for the hotels with the help of the online hotel booking travel wesbsites such as expedia.com – travelocity.com – booking.com – priceonline.com and many more.
