So the main reason I wanted to go to Beijing was not only because I got a visa for 2 entries and I didn’t want to waste it, but because I wanted to visit the Great Wall!!!

Going to the Great Wall was on my bucket list. Ok, so I don’t really have a real bucket list but it’s a place I really wanted to see.

My friend Jason ordered me a car service. I paid 500 RMB to get driven around for the day. But basically all I did was get picked up, go to the Wall and then go back. But I definitely preferred doing that then trying to figure out public transportation and then being back by a certain time to catch the bus back. I definitely got to take my time and walk at my leisure. I walked on the wall for a good 3 hours. I also had a backpack full of drinks and snacks. Which I definitely recommend you bringing along as well if you ever decide to go

The part of the wall the I visited was the Mutianyu wall. This part of the wall is famous for its breathtaking scenic views. Next time I go to Beijing, I’ll try to hit up a different part of the wall.

So I’m not going to comment or write anymore, so that you can just look at the photos (And because I suck at the commentary).

Thankfully there weren’t too many people at the wall

Ok, so well… That’s it from my vacation photos. Really. I promise. Because I didn’t go anywhere after Beijing

Tiananmen Square, you’ve probably heard of it right?

Have you ever been in China and tried to google it? The results are definitely not the same as what you get in the states. Especially if you image search it.

We had to go through security and put our bags through xray machines. AFter going through security to get into the square we walked towards the square.

And here we are.

Here’s Angela and Jason.

And me!

There were a good amount of people here, considering…

China Pride

I kind of wanted a flag myself. But I didn’t end up getting one.

A screen that shows a video, I think it was telling you to join the army. Not sure.

This is the outside of the Forbidden City. I actually ended up not going to it. Angela and Jason were telling me if you don’t even stop and just walk through and not even look at everything it takes a few hours. My trip was short, so I’ll go when I go back to Beijing

Jason pretending to be a paparazzi taking pictures (this one was the only one at a good angle ;p)

And then the escalator at one of the subway stations nearby Tiananmen Square. We were trying to figure out how to get back home, because there were no places to grab a taxi!

The next post will be the Great Wall of China! And it will be my last vacationing blog post for a while
