Beijing, China

After Shanghai we took a bullet train to Beijing.  Beijing feels different to Shanghai. Almost the size of Shanghai it felt a little slower and more relaxed.  We visited the Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, Summer Palace, and climbed the Great Wall of China (Mutianyu). Both Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City were packed with people and the fact that it was hot did not help.  Climbing the Great Wall was tiring but in the end we made it.  Summer Palace was more relaxing and beautiful.  I loved the boats on Kunmin Lake and the garden full of flowers.
