A less touristy face of Beijing

Our visit to the most touristic place in Beijing had left us wondering about Chinese history and culture. Realising our knowledge was too limited, we were looking forward to the Free City Tour we'd attend in the afternoon. After that, we had planned ...

Arrival in Beijing Airport

It took a 3-hour flight from Brussels to Moscow, a 5-hour wait and another 7h30-hour flight from Moscow to Beijing, to reach our destination. We were exhausted from the long travel and the jetlag, so we started our visit with in a very relaxed way, b...

Forbidden City, Jinshan Park and Beihai Park

The Forbidden City, the name only has such a mysterious ring to it that it creates high expectations for the site itself. But despite its story being fascinating and the site being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, our visit to the Forbidden Ci...

Temple of Heaven

Built in 1420, the Temple of Heaven is an ancient garden complex on the southern end of Beijing. During the Ming and Qing dynasty, it was the sacred altar for emperors to offer sacrifices to Heaven and pray for a great harvest. It is also recommended...

The Summer Palace

Out in the western suburbs of Beijing lies a beautiful park with a lake, gardens and temples that was once the Summer retreat of the emperors. Covering 2,2 square kilometres, The Summer Palace, listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, is the largest r...

Train from Beijing to Ulaanbaatar

When we woke up on Tuesday morning, it was raining. This, along with heavy thunder had been going on all night. It felt like this was Beijing saying goodbye. The day before, our Couchsurfing host Victoria had told me they sometimes close metro statio...
