Beijing wander

---

The behind-the-scenes of Beijing.

This is where we live. After walking out the door in the morning and round a few corners, we can already catch a glimpse of the tallest building in Beijing, over in the middle of the Central Business District, at a distance that would take just 5 minutes to drive in Hampshire, but takes about an hour in the blocked-up streets of Beijing. It's not just the time it takes to get there that distinguishes our area from the overlooking CBD - it has completely the opposite feel to it, as you can see from the photos - hardly a shiny international hub of wealth and glamour!
