Beijing, China

I didn’t go to Beijing with my friends earlier in April because I wanted to go when the weather was better. But I knew I would go to Beijing eventually --- I can’t go to China without going to Beijing.
So I booked everything in advanced: the train tickets, hotel, tour ticket, and performance ticket. I wanted to try out the first-class seat on the high-speed rail so I purchased one on this trip since it would be a 5-hour long sitting trip. I also booked a hotel because an incident recently happened in Beijing, where a woman was almost dragged away by a man inside the hotel, who she thought was a sex trafficker.
