Daniel and I finally got to escape the hustle and bustle of Dongtan life for a 7 day vacation to Beijing, China. While there we stayed at a hutong hostel, which was over 300 years old. We visited Tienanmen Square and the Forbidden City on Day 1, which were amazing to see! Its stuff you read about but never think you're actually going to see one day....
We also traveled to the Great Wall, which is about 3 hours outside of Beijing. We hiked 10km uphill and I was exhausted by the time it was all over! Wonderful views of the wall, both restored and unrestored sections.
We also got to see three shows in total, acrobatics, Kungfu, and a modern dance performance. Other highlights of our trip included eating Peking Duck, taking a rickshaw ride, and visiting the Summer Palace. Now it's back to work...
