We started our journey at Manchester Airport. Then, we checked in for our flight. After boarding, we flew with Hainan Airlines. We arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 2. We used an ATM at the airport. Next, we took the Airport Express Line train. Then we used the subway to reach our destination. We share our first impressions of Beijing. We enjoyed some delicious old-style Beijing hot pot. Finally, we checked into our hotel.
