Wow, Beijing. What an awesome city. So much history, and so much to see.

The thing that sets Beijing apart from other cities in China is the diversity. From the most upscale shopping districts, to the Hutongs, to the chaos of the West Beijing train station. History and modernity all wrapped up in one place.

Will definitely visit again.
