We arrive in Beijing on 27 early in the morning. And stay there for 20 days.
We like to take you with us to the most famous historical places, but also to the less and unknown places of Beijing. And off course to several places around Beijing, the great places in nature and so on.

We will publish many of our pictures on our webblog.

So we hope you can see, smell and taste the great experience we have during this trip.

Very usefull websites for preparing a trip to China and Beijing you find on the following locations:
