I am flying from Vancouver, BC to Taipei next month with a layover in Beijing?
-
wow, I have been reading the procedure to depart. It's very very confusing. I've been told by somebody that was in Beijing that nobody speaks english not even the agents. There must be an info booth or something, they must speak english somewhere, I mean they did have the olympics there after all. This is the procedure-CAN ANYONE MAKE SENSE OF THIS? Minimum Connection Time (MCT) of Transfer in T3 I – International D – Domestic D — D: 50 minutes D — I: 120 minutes I — I: 60 minutes Tips: For passengers of incoming international flights with domestic stopovers, the MCT in T3 is 120 minutes. Minimum Connection Time (MCT) between T3 and T2 D — D: 120 minutes D — I: 160 minutes I — I: 120 minutes Minimum Connection Time (MCT) between T3 and T1 D — D: 120 minutes D — I: 160 minutes Transfer Guide in T3 I — D Beijing Capital AirportArrive at the International Arrival Level at 3F of T3-E → accept Health & Quarantine → Inspection → go through the Entry Frontier Inspection → take APM at 2F of T3-E to reach 2F of T3-C → go to the International Baggage Claim Hall → go through the Animal & Plant Quarantine (sample check) → accept the Customs Inspection located north of the International Baggage Claim Hall → enter into the I-D Transfer Hall → finish domestic flights transfer procedures & deliver baggage → take the special elevator upstairs to 3F of T3-C → pass the Domestic Security Inspection →Waiting & boarding I — I Arrive at the International Arrival Level at 3F of T3-E → proceed with transfer procedures → pass through the Transit Inspection in special passage in the east or west → take special elevator downstairs to International Departure Level at 2F of T3-E → accept Security Inspection in the special passage → go through the customs sample check of hand baggage if necessary → Waiting & Boarding Tips: 1. For passengers of incoming international flights with domestic stopovers, they should proceed with passengers of international flights departing from Beijing at 4F of T3-C and wait for planes in T3-E. 2. China Visa is not required for international transfer passengers who hold valid airline tickets for the next countries and will stay in China no more than 24 hours. 3. For the sake of saving time, it is suggested that I-I transfer passengers use the airlines which are in the same terminal. If not, it means that you have to proceed with both of the entry and exit procedures. D — I Arriva at the Domestic Arrival Level at 2F of T3-C → proceed with international flights transfer procedures at the D-I Transfer Beijing Capital AirportCounter at 2F of T3-C → take special elevator downstairs to the Transfer Hall at 1F → check boarding pass → upstairs to APM platform at 2F of T3C → take APM to reach 2F of T3-E → go to Customs, Immigration and Quarantine at 2F → go through the Heath & Quarantine Inspection → pass through the Exit Frontier Inspection → accept Security Inspection → accept Customs Inspection → Waiting & Boarding D — D Arrival at Domestic Arrival Level at 2F of T3-C → proceed with domestic flights transfer procedures at the D-D Transfer Counter at 2F of T3-C → upstairs to the Domestic Departure Hall at 3F of T3-C → Waiting & Boarding

Answer:
Flights to Taipei are considered international departures. Those who tell different have probably never flown internationally in their life. You will arrive and depart from terminal 3E. International transit procedures apply. http://en.bcia.com.cn/business/flightInfo.jspx?language=en&flightType=2 .. ◘○◘○◘ Added (based on your additional details): You do not need to use the Automated People Mover (APM) for transfer between terminals since you arrive and depart from the same terminal.

You only need to worry about T3 I - D and T3 I - I. China regards Taiwan as a province, therefore you may need to go to the Domestic Connection Waiting area. Taiwan views itself as a separate country, therefore, you may have to go to the International Connection area. Contact your airline, and confirm with them which sections applies to you: Domestic or International.
Maybe???
It's very detailed, telling you exactly what to do (even which elevators to take). Yeah, my last trip to Beijing was a bit rough because of my minimal Chinese language skills.

Truly, they don't speak English there. It's like they've never heard of English. I found that some Chinese people speak Russian, but that might not help many North Americans. Sorry!
