Three days in Beijing
Beijing was busiest city we saw. Traffic laws were almost non-existent and we had to get used to the way the bus driver took us through the city. It appeared that driving and parking everywhere - sidewalks included was normal and trafiic signals are just advisory! Obtaining a license to own a vehicle is expensive, and you're given specific days when you can drive.
With over 21 million people and a lot of tourists, it was crowded almost everywhere - and there was construction everywhere.
The Great Wall, however, was the highlight for us. It was tremendous to be on top of something so huge and impressive.
