In this video, we continue our adventure in Beijing! After getting our first taste of Beijing, weโ€™re ready to explore some of its most epic cultural sites, each with a story to tell and a piece of history to uncover and also head to one of the more modern areas - Sanlitun. Weโ€™ll indulge in more delicious local dishes and experience the traditions that have shaped this fascinating capital.

Weโ€™re wrapping up our time in Beijing with a visit to what is undoubtedly Chinaโ€™s most iconic landmarkโ€”the Great Wall of China. This has been a bucket list item for both of us for years, and standing on this ancient wonder, even in the rain, is nothing short of magical.
