Beijing Sightseeing

We will spend a couple days in Beijing before we head to Zhengzhou to receive L, so we are making the most of our time to do the tourist things. Today we started off at Tiananmen Square and then walked through the Forbidden City before a traditional Chinese lunch. After lunch we toured a silk factory and saw how silk is made, then rode a rickshaw through a neighborhood with very narrow streets called a Hutong. After waking at 4 am (still getting used to the time change) and sightseeing for 11 hours, I’ll keep this one short and go to bed.
