City trip Beijing, China

Beijing, China
7 - 11 October 2016

The #city #trip #Beijing was part of our #China #Tour in October 2016. Please find the summary of the China Tour here:
   • China Tour  .
We arrived in Beijing by plain in the afternoon and walked to the Tiananmen Square, one of the largest squares in the world. The #Tiananmen Square is really impressive. The Tiananmen Square is named after the Tiananmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace).
The next day we visited the Temple of Heaven Park. In the park the #Chinese people were dancing, sporting and playing cards or other games. Maybe it was nicer to see these active Chinese people than the Temple of Heaven itself.
After lunch we travelled by subway to the Forbidden City in the center of Beijing. The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace in the Ming and Qing dynasties (1420-1912). These days the Forbidden City was forbidden for everybody who was not part or not working for the imperial family.
Of course we have eaten the Peking Duck (Beijing Roast Duck) for dinner.
After 2 days hiking on the Great Wall of China (see    • Hiking The Great Wall of China  ), we continued the Beijing trip with a visit of the Summer Palace. The emperors went to the Summer Palace to escape from the crowded city and. Now there are more than 200.000 visitors a day.
We left Beijing by night train.
