This morning we got up really early to take a last walk to the Bund. We were there by 6.30. It was super nice without the millions of tourists, only the locals were doing their morning work out there. After admiring the view for a while, we decided to hunt for some breakfast, and then […]
This morning we had a hard time getting up, both because we went to bed quite late, but also because I started feeling a bit sick last night and therefore didn’t sleep too well. I woke up with a cold this morning, and we’ve both struggled with running noses the whole day. When it’s 36 […]
Today started slow. We are getting more and more tired, since we are trying to squeeze in as much in the day as possible. We decided that we would go to the Old Town and have a look at the Yuyuan-garden. The garden was absolutely beautiful with its bonsai’s, little lakes and architecture. After spending […]
We arrived at our hostel around 22:30 last night, and just as we got off the metro, it had started raining and a huge thunderstorm was passing. Luckily we only live around 5 minutes from the metro station, so we didn’t get completely soaked this time. Our room is really nice this time, and the […]

We started our day a bit earlier today, as we wanted to check out the Summer Palace. It was more cloudy and as long as there was wind, the temperature seemed okay. As we arrived at and came out of the metro, there were already a lot of people. Not so many from the metro, […]
We started our day late, really late, around noon. We both had a hard time getting up in the morning, so we decided to just relax a bit. First, we went to Beijing West Railway Station to pick up our tickets, as we are leaving to Xi’an after tomorrow. The building itself looks really amazing, […]
