Beijing, China

Beijing, China was the next destination on my tour of the world. I saw some of the most iconic sights the city had to offer. I went to the Forbidden City, which houses the palace used by the emperors of China from 1420 to 1912. It was a feat of human ingenuity and architecture. In fact, most of the city's architecture amazed me. The China Central Television Headquarters even seemed to defy gravity, looming over the streets. The traditional Chinese food was to die for. I had my fair share of suckling pig, Peking duck, and moo shu pork while staying in Beijing. Finally, I visited the Great Wall of China. It was humbling to see it stretch out as far as the eye could see. The only bad part of Beijing was the copious amount of smog in the air. In all, I enjoyed Beijing.
