Well we made it to China! First stop on our tour is Beijing. Customs was fairly easy to get through and we found our guide Lucy with little issues. After checking in at the hotel, Charlotte and I walked around a little. The city is set up as a grid so it was easy to get around. My first impressions were that there are more trees than expected and I thought there would be more tall buildings and a lot more people!

Cool building we drove by on the way to the hotel.

Shopping mall near our hotel. Looked like a mini Times Square.
