In most airports in China it’s mandatory to present the crew passports to immigration even for turn around flights. One of the cabin crew will have to go the immigration with all the crew passports. If you forgot your passport, your company will have to pay a fine.
In Shanghai Pudong airport, we are not required to show our passport for turn around flights.
But few months ago, one captain did not have it and bad luck for him, there was a spot check that day. xD
To punish us, apart from the huge fine, for the next 10 days, all the crews had to walk to immigration to show their passports...
We have 4 flights a day to Pekin, so I guess we will park to the remote bay soon. xD
Taxiing in Pekin is easier than before tho. Now they only issue 3 taxi instructions maximum. And they tend to follow a standard taxi route. Landing 36L or 18R which is the longest taxi to the main terminal is pretty much what you can find on the arrival taxi chart.
