I had the chance to visit China as part of a 6 week sabbatical in Asia. Have you dreamed of exploring Asia’s megacities? If so, then unlock the door to Beijing. While Beijing operates at a truly frenetic pace, there are pockets of tranquility.
I spotted this grand door surrounded by heavy metal oxen (or perhaps they are bulls?) in the Forbidden City in a quiet spot away from the massive onslaught of tourists.
I loved Beijing because it was actually pretty easy to get around on public transportation. Of course, we also made our way further afield via a hired guide who took us to the Great Wall of China, a true bucket list experience.
For a memorable vacation in China, Beijing is a great place to start.
