Welcome to Beijing

The last stop on our tour of Southeast Asia and China was the capital city of Beijing.  It was the perfect ending to a great trip.

The city held so many incredible sights that even after traveling for 30 plus days we still were in awe of the grandeur of the area.

Because of the extended time we spent here I have added some individual pages for you to drill down and view our time spent at each one.
