Last Sunday I spent my best day in Beijing yet with Fei. I know her from the University of Cincinnati where we both attended graduate school. She’s living in Beijing now, and it was great to wander around the 798 Art District with a local.
We also visited the Yonghegong Temple (Lama Temple) which houses a large Budda carved out of a single tree.
This Sunday I took the subway to Tiananmen Square and visited the National Museum of China. The entrance of the museum was a little tricky to find because I can’t read the signs yet and there was a maze of railing up around the museum directing us to the entrance.
Christy,
Makes me want to fly to China! We walked on the Great Wall…but the super touristy spots….I think it would be wonderful to go in and among the less traveled areas, hiking at will…
I went to the Shanghai museum, but not the one in Beijing, so looks like there is another destination. What was the pollution like in Beijing? Wonder if Jock would do okay with it….any thoughts?
