Q: Can I get my tax refund in downtown Beijing instead of at the airport?
A: Yes, you can! Beijing now offers "refund-upon-purchase" services at several downtown locations. There are currently six centralized counters where international visitors can receive instant tax refunds after shopping, providing a seamless and high-quality experience without waiting until you reach the airport.
