Beijing, China
Sunday, February 10, 2008
Scott and I headed to Beijing, China for the Lunar New Year. We spent 4 days and 3 nights touring the city, and what a city it was! Wow. It was so different from Seoul, I guess something I wasn't expecting at all. It was incredibly clean and spaced out, mind you, we were there during a holiday so we avoided a lot of the hustle and bustle. Anyways, it ended up being a great trip. We saw and did SO much in 4 days. We went to Tian'anmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, the Ming Tombs, and the best was the Great Wall of China! We made it to the 'top'... as far as we could go! It was intense. OH, and the fireworks! WOW! It's something I won't ever forget. Every night we heard constant explosions, from every street corner and from the roads, just everywhere! So loud! It was really really something else. We also got to see the Olympic stadiums, which were really neat to see for sure.
So all in all, Beijing was great. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
