Beijing visit number 1 was all about connecting with friends new and old, shopping for fakes at Yangshaw market and western-style breakfasts at Grandma’s Kitchen and Element Fresh….yummm!. Solo

Beijing visit number 2 was all about being the tourist during the day at Tiananmen Square and The Forbidden City and the night in the dark corners and bright dance floor lights of the Russian quarter! With man and man’s best friend.
Boys, who are you saluting.....?
Russian Nights
Beijing visit number 3 was all about the hutongs and doing some of the highlights: Xidan shopping, (we now own face masks!) a lovely Malaysian dinner at Cafe Sambal (a definite return destination) with Hutong bar hop. Day 2 saw the Bell Tower, and the 798 Art District. Just the 2 of us.

Beijing visit number 4 will be all about Christmas in China and the Great Wall! Santa is everywhere here…I find this bizarre.
I “heart” BJ.
