The breakfast buffet was delicious. There were plenty of choices and it exceeded my expectations. We ate a lot because we wanted to try a little of everything. Later we soon came to know it was also one of “best food “we were going to get in Beijing. So each morning we both had a lot for breakfast.

On our way to 中国儿童中心

So many bicycles and luxury cars. Not surprisingly, we saw many bicycles in Beijing. China is growing incredibly fast. And the gap between the rich and poor is big. Yes, we saw thousands of bicycles and many poor people. But we also saw a huge number of Audis and Mercedes all over the city. As a metropolitan city, Beijing has a lot of Western influence. You can easily find many of the signs were both in Chinese and English. To us it just looked like one really huge Chinatown. There was so much English, we almost thought that I could manage it by without understanding any Chinese. With the speed that China is developing at, we may not recognize Beijing the next time I return.

6:00-8:30 Chinese Acrobatics Performance at 中国儿童中心
