Dag 1 en 2 (Amsterdam - Beijing)
... morgen. Dan staan the Forbidden Palace, Beihei park, Temple of Heaven op de planning. Als we meer tijd hebben misschien ook Summer palace. Maar vooralsnog denken we wel alles wat we geplanned hadden ook in 6 dagen te kunnen zien. 11 oktober 2012 Na een nacht goed geslapen te hebben (we sliepen als roosjes!), zijn we redelijk op tijd de deur uitgegaan om een ontbijtje te zoeken. Vlakbij het hostel zijn een hoop kleine tentjes waar ze xiaolongbao en jiaozi verkopen. Na het ontbijt zijn ...
