Beijing, China - Day 1




05 April 2007. We arrived at Beijing airport a little after noon. We were part of a tour group and it didn't take too long to assemble the group and soon we were on our tour bus. I guess it helped that the tour operator had some form of organization.

First stop, lunch. We were taken to a Peking duck place where we were taught how to eat the delicacy. Then we were on our way to the Temple of Heaven. Lots of walking on this one. Ancient Chinese royalty were very much into taking in the land as far as the eye can see and they had to walk all of it. They should've invented some ancient "golf cart" to take them about their palaces and temples. After all the walking, the group went to the Kungfu Theater to watch a Chinese acrobatics show with hat jugglers, parasol twirlers, rope spinners, ring jumpers and bicyclists. The group then wound down for some dinner in another Chinese restaurant where I got to try their beer. Captions to follow.
