My first week back in Shanghai, Danny had a conference in Bejing. I visited too for trip three to Bejing. My work collected my passport to process my visa so I didn’t have the proper paperwork with me. It led to a few tense moments when we told the hotel guys I wasn’t staying the night. When I showed a photo of my passport at the train station… fortunately there was a crowd waiting behind me and they just waved me through.
For my third trip to Bejing we did more minor tourist destinations, the ones most people only visit if the have extra time to fill or they live in Beijing.
Saturday we went to art zone 798. It is a cool neighborhood with lots of art galleries and yummy restaurants.
Next we visited the Lama Temple, it was nice but at this
point we’ve seen so many temple it didn’t really stand out as anything special.
It was right next to our hotel though.
Saturday night we went to Qian Men Da Jie again, a big pedestrian
street with lots of shops.
Sunday we went to the Olympic Village to see the Bird’s Nest
and the Water Cube. The Bird’s Nest wasn’t very exciting, it looks like the
inside of any sports arena but it was sort of under construction. The Water
Cube had a water park inside but we didn’t pack bathing suits or enough time to
go before my train back.
