The first lunch at Beijing (and China) was decent. There wasn't anything that stood out, but there wasn't anything bad either.

Before it comes to light, I just want to mention that I was thoroughly disappointed in the places the tour guides took us to eat in China. They were sometimes okay at best, usually quite poor, sometimes inedible. If I had to go to China again, I would thoroughly research places to eat or know locals beforehand I could trust.

One of the popular teas offered in many shops is a flowering tea, which starts off as a closed round ball, and opens up once in water, as this one did.

Interesting rock formations in the Forbidden City. This is actually a part of a rock garden located in one of the areas.
