Beijing is, as expected, absolutely huge. It has the most extensive metro system in the world and that says it all. The metro will be your best (and very affordable) friend if you want to pack the main attractions within 5-6 days of reasonably paced sightseeing.

I travelled to China in the beginning of June but, as it's often the case, normal life took over upon my return and did not yet manage to record my impressions. The main purpose of the trip was work related. However, I extended my stay to be able to discover Beijing ( and a bit …
