I am back from Beijing (and just in time to attend Oktoberfest at Swiss Club on the same night).
One of the must-do : eat Beijing duck. Yums!

Another must-do and also my main purpose for this trip : Climb Great Wall of China 八達嶺長城
A heart-warming scene where the son held tightly to his mother's hand as they climbed Great Wall together.
We see these banners everywhere "civilisation for a better society". In my humble opinion, China still has a long journey to civilisation. 10, 20 or perhaps another 50 years. We witnessed children poo-ing on the streets (just opposite Tian An Men!) A mother held up his toddler for him to pee into a dustbin. And that dustbin is situated inside the shopping centre. An upmarket shopping centre with international brands like Gucci, Chanel, etc. *shrugs* As usual, there's the massive spitting on the streets. It is akin to a mine ; hard to avoid.
