Having spend most of the last nine years in Shanghai, I’ve taken countless trips to Beijing over the years, but this last Easter weekend was the first time I ever went there as a tourist. To be honest (and I hate to admit it as I have grown to love Shanghai) Beijing has a lot to offer. It’s not only the cultural sites that Shanghai can’t offer but being such city that is so spread out, it is much easier to find the local people and how they live.
In Shanghai it is easy to never really feel that you’re in China but in Beijing you can’t avoid it. Over the long weekend we managed to visit the Great Wall, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven. For a three day trip with two kids in tow that was enough. Here are some of the images I managed to capture while I was there. Enjoy!
