We're in Beijing!
My parents and I arrived in Beijing two days ago. The flight didn't seem so long to us because we slept. We spent the first afternoon and evening relaxing and enjoying our fiv star hotel, Shangri La. Nneka exclaimed during our delicious dinner in the hotel restaurant, "I'm in heaven!"
The second day, we visited the Palace Museum and Tiananmen Square. It was incredible to be there! After lunch we took a rickshaw ride through the Hu Tong, or "narrow streets", and visited a house there. Next, we had a wonderful dinner of various dishes including Peking roast duck. Finally we saw a Peking opera show.
Today, we visited the Great Wall. We walked just a small section, but it took 90 minutes. What an amazing view! We will have many photos up when we return home.
