Hotels in Beijing - Prices and Reviews

Today was the day we had been waiting for in Beijing. We are headed for the Great Wall of China! But first we had to see a bunch of other silly things - the bad part of being on a formal tour.

I arrive in Beijing after about 30+ hours from Jayuguan. In Beijing, I had contacted Yao who is a member of the HC. I was going to stay with him for 2 days. Vi...
