Days 25 and 26, Beijing Redeux!

10/28 – Beijing

 

After the delayed flight/eyeball incident, we all wanted to sleep in. So we got up around 10 am the next morning and made it to the Forbidden City. The last time I was there, there was literally no one (well, maybe 10 other people, but...you could wander almost alone...) there. This time there were fewer people than Golden Week, but still enough that it was crazy. So we spent an hour or so to climb the entirely unexciting gate that overlooks Tian'An Men, then spent another hour getting tickets to the city.
