BEIJING: Seeking Beijing’s Hidden Secrets

If you walk through the streets of Beijing, you discover a lot in any street. There is always something catching your eye, if it is surprising or just different from your previous experiences.

The next days, we tried to do a bit less walking as our legs were already tired from 1.5 weeks walking through the streets of China. 

We decided to see the famous Summer Palace which is also very big and every single corner includes historical souvenirs and is stunning.

The Forbidden City is also hardly signposted anywhere and then mostly in Chinese so it took us a bit of time to figure out if it is that place in front of us.

The venue is absolutely massive and it took us hours to walk round every corner. Here again, you have to pay a fee for every single entrance to an historical building. It is not much, but having seen a few, it takes quite a bit of your travel budget.
