Touring Beijing, China

We did not go to Beijing this year, but five years ago, we did with our good friends, Suharto and Rina.  I did not take as many photos but am glad I still have them.  

We got a package tour for only US$ 800.00 which included airfare, hotel and food to Shanghai and Beijing for a week.  WHAT A GREAT DEAL!  I do not know if you can still get something like that now.  It was a smart way to go because we had a tour guide and we did not have to worry about how to communicate- where to go- what to eat etc etc.  

Beijing is definitely a place to go to- very rich in history and culture!

The Great Wall

We could not imagine ourselves climbing that but if many others were doing it, why can’t we? And we were already there so might as well make the most out of it 🙂

They even sell certificates at the top of the mountain as proof that you actually climbed the wall 🙂
