The security is insane! We had to show our passports at multiple checkpoints, even just walking down a path.

The food was absolutely incredible! The Peking duck was the best I've ever had, and the noodles and beef pie were also amazing. We spent only £20!

Probably the German flags lining the road! We later found out it was a sign of respect for a German visit.
What was Beihai Park like?
It was so nice! It felt like something out of a fairy tale, with traditional Chinese boats, Koi carp, and beautiful gardens. It's way better than Hyde Park!
