Moments of Beijing


The rest of our time spent in Beijing was spent self-escorting ourselves around town.

Starting with McDee's every day.


Of course.

We went to the Temple of Heaven.



Admission to all the sights we attended was RIDICULOUSLY cheap. 

$8 tops. 


A stop by the stock exchange(of course).

Plenty of 

Ice cream

Donut

Hot chocolate stops.


The architecture museum.



Did I mention one day we walked 15 miles??


15 MILES!


We were dead tired and sore. 


Once we found out cabs were so cheap, we never walked more than a mile after that. 


Splurged and ate at our swanky hotel a few times.


 ^How pretty right?!


Had thee BEST sweet and sour soup our very last night at the hotel. 

Wish I would have discovered it sooner :(


Enjoyed the view at our hotel


Mesmerized watching the crazy traffic patterns.

Aaand the construction project going on across the street. 



Visited the World Park.

Tons of tiny replicas of famous world landmarks. 


A little ghetto, but we loved it :)












Amazed at how many of the landmarks Aar and I have already been to!


Fell in love with the Summer Palace.

Aka where the emperors stayed and played in the summer. 
 

Freezing our butts off right here^




Explored the Llama temple



Walked along trinket lined streets



Right after this photo was taken, a little Chinese family wanted a picture with Aaron... I was dying. 

It was such a blast taking in and watching another culture. 

Hope to see more of China soon!
