We watched a really interesting program on the Discovery channel two nights ago on how Beijing is getting ready for the Olympic Games.

A hidden treasure in Beijing! The former residence of princess Hejing, the third daughter of a Qing Emperor. A place you won’t find in the guide books!

The Forbidden City is indeed a remarkable place to see. While we spent 3 days touring Beijing, it was definitely the highlight of the trip.

We had such a nice time in Beijing. It is so different from other cities in China, like Xiamen or Shanghai. The history from the Ming and Qing dynasties is so present there.
