Hello Beijing!

07.09.2008 Beijing, China 中國 北京


The airport express train took me to the heart of Beijing, where I settled into the Double Happiness Courtyard Hotel 閱微莊, located in an old hutong.


I briefly visited the National Centre for the Performing Arts 國家大劇院, a half-egg of glass and metal rising out of a reflective pond.



Appropriately the first dinner featured Peking duck, at Duck de Chine, at 1949 near Sanlitun.
