Beijing Photos 2









Our four day trip was rounded out by taking a short but sweet look at the Birds Nest, pity it was so foggy. A trip to the Summer palace was interesting but way too crowded with tourists, I've never quite seen so many tour groups in one spot, just crazy! The sign tickled my fancy, never quite seen low season expressed this way! Our last night dinner was Beijing duck, the traditional way to eat it in China is to wrap a small piece of duck meat in a thin pancake with a little veg and sauce, delicious! We were all pretty worn out by the last night but had a few drinks to celebrate our time in Beijing and unwind. I am hoping to get back to Beijing in another couple of weeks and do things at a more leisurely pace, and go exploring on my own. Stay tuned for more updates coming soon. xo
