This is a personal account of my recent trip to Beijing, illustrated with some of the photographs I took. I'm not a professional writer, nor a professional traveller, so you might find it a bit rough. However, the trip was very good value and lots of fun, so I thought I would share it. There are plenty of guide books to tell you about the place, so I have concentrated more on the journey and the things I learned from talking to the guides and my fellow travellers. Enjoy!
