Our last train trip in China is a short hop from Datong to Beijing. Just 6 hours, but our kind travel agent still arranged for us to have a soft sleeper. What a guy! Thank you Young Fan for a great trip around China!
We like the soft sleeper. Plenty of room to spread out and of course sleeping. Some get to fit in more of that than others...
We arrive to Beijing in the early afternoon and find our hotel in a nice quiet residential neighbourhood. Soo we made a bee line for the hoards at Tienanmen Square and were not disappointed.
What a madhouse! Of course in a good Chinese way! After braving the inferno that was the square we found a quiet tree lined sidewalk on one edge of the square to sit and enjoy some ice cream with 50,000 other people.
Got to admit though for all of the foreigners that are supposed to be decending on the city we see barely a one.
