A Fun Trip Explore Beijing

A nice trip that I had in Beijing on my last vacation! First we arrived at Beijing Capital Airport, tour guide were waiting for me at the exit gate. After that, she transferred us to the hotel and let us to have a rest. The day after that, we began explore the city. It started with a short visit to Ming Tombs and Badaling Great Wall. On that day, the weather was nice. It was a cloudy day without sun shining bright, I love the atmosphere.
Oh and because it is a group tour then we did visit many attractions around Beijing with other family. They are very friendly and nice. We did not feel uncomfortable at all. At first, tour guide also introduced herself to all of us. My first impression of her continued to the last, she is a kind, helpful and informative. She always took care of us, all of us, during the trip. The tour guide organized all the itinerary and time very well.

Long Corridor in Summer Palace

Within those 5 days tour, the most impressive place I thought it was Summer Palace. We had visited Beijing on summer, and explore the royal garden is just right choice. Inside, I felt some different feeling from when I did visit other historical sites in Beijing. The garden landscapes were fascinating. We did visit amount cultural relics around the garden as well as enjoy the lake scenery which located in the center of the garden. When I was in Summer Palace, the weather seems cooler than the outside, might be because the wind that blows from the lake. We did also see a lot of visitors boating through the lake, with their couple or even family.

Historical Building in Summer Palace

Because Summer Palace is one of the major attractions in Beijing and we accidentally visit it on the weekend, so we should head countless visitors who also come to Summer Palace. Full with crowded, we surviving keep enjoy our trip. It becomes better because our guide did a great job of navigating through the crowds of people and finding quiet spots (in the shade) for everyone to stand and listen throughout the tour. Very helping the whole tour members out of the crowded.
Overall, the trip has given me a lot of information about China history, culture, art and life style. The tour agency did a great job with arranging and accommodating the tour.
