Beijing

I felt Beijing, the second stop of my China trip, to be a dive into a past long gone. Different from Shanghai, here I experienced a country closer to my initial expectations (again, uncountable number of lighters confiscated…). The atmosphere, the colours, the buildings, everything created an environment I wanted to explore more deeply. Ancient places ready to be seen by my own eyes… and by million other…

In Beijing I also had the chance to cross the Great Wall off my bucket list. The part I went to was Mutianyu. Unforgettable, as the leg pain I experienced for two weeks after walking for hours up and down this unique piece of history.
