We stayed in Beijing, where I live, and checked out the sights and ate a LOT of food. We did a lot! We went to the Mutianyu Great Wall and slid down the toboggan slide. We ate mushroom hotpot with mushrooms from Sichuan and Yunnan. We drank Hey Tea fruit tea. We ate my MIL’s cooking. We took my mom on my husband’s Harley in Beijing. We went to TianTan or Temple of Heaven. We ate Peking duck. We walked around QianMen near the Forbidden City. We explored Sanlitun which is a hip downtown area of BJ. We hung out and played with my cute son. and more! This is all we got on camera, but even more memories were made off-camera. We tried to find the perfect balance of shooting on-camera and bonding off-camera. I hope you enjoyed this video
