Excitement reached fever pitch as Beckham arrived in the city, stepping off a private jet at the airport, in jeans, a t-shirt and his trademark beanie hat.
Despite soaring temperatures, Mr B looked as cool as a cucumber as he signed autographs for fans who had camped out for hours to see him.
Taking to Facebook to keep fans up to date on his movements, Becks posted a series of photos of his trip, including one of a build up of traffic, captioned: 'Love Beijing, although not this traffic jam. Had a good day so far'.
