Sadly, our best meal in Beijing was a Shanghai based soup dumpling chain restaurant. It was very good, but the only problem was that we had to pay our own portion of this meal.

The veggies were tasty, even if slightly underseasoned.

The terrain starts to change as we left the city, almost a precursor to the sight we are about to see.

The table consisted of several types of tea, as well as tea glasses the staff of the tea house would show to us.

One of the entrances to the Forbidden City.

The entrance to the Summer Palace.

The building designs are quite catching to the eye, such as the IBM building. The amount of cars is also eye-catching, except it meant bad tussles with the massive amount of traffic for us later...
