Beijing Travel Diary

I got back from Beijing a month ago! And now that I’m finally uploading my photos from the trip, I thought I would share a few. Although I was born in China, I moved to the US when I was really young. Needless to say, going back is a bit of a culture shock, even for me. My boyfriend came along for the trip. And while we spent most of the week with my family, we were able to mix in some tourist attractions in between. We got really lucky with the weather for the most part (with the exception of some particularly bad pollution, as you can see in some of our photos). Also, we were able to spend our days exploring the city, sightseeing and enjoying amazing food.
