Beijing Day 2
This is a picture of the open air market from te first day.
We had a full day of being a tourist today. Up at 6:30, on the bus by 8: 00 AM. We visited the Summer palace before going to Tienamin Square and the Forbidden City. Never did I ever imaging that we would ever visit both. the Forbidden City, by itself, is very simple.But when the guide explains all of the history around it and what has taken place there, it is very interesting.
The traffic in Beijing is terrible. You just crawl along. And the drivers are crazy.
We have good guides. They both speak very good english and and are very knowledgable about China's way of life.
