Beijing Experience

Posted by girlie on April 11, 2009

The flight to Beijing was good. It took us almost 5 hours to reach our destination. When we got there, I was really amazed. I so love the place, it was clean, the trees lining the streets was just awesome. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve been too (kasi konte pa lang eh). Honestly, I find Beijing more beautiful than the places I’ve been to in the USA (no offense meant here). First stop after lunch was at the Tiananmen Square, I remember this place because of the massacre that happened in 1989. But that was never mentioned by our tourist guide. Instead she told us that Tiananmen Square is the largest open square in the world.

Behind us is the Gate of Heavenly Peace.

Much as we wanted to see the remains of Mao Zedong, it was not part of the tour package we got. It would have been a wonderful experience. FIL was able to see his body when they toured Beijing a couple of years back.
