STORYTIME: China

The best thing that happened to me in Beijing was a collection of stolen moments spent dancing in the shadow of the Drum and Bell Towers.
​
Listening to Chinese pop songs. In the pitch dark of night.
 
It was about zero degrees.
 
I wondered if it was perhaps my happiest moment.
Ever.
 
Simple things.





Lovely photographs ahead...

Beijing is such an incredibly amazing city to visit. In the depth of winter it was freezing, but also very beautiful. My husband loved the huge towering brutalist buildings that line Tiananmen Square, and I loved the (just as imposing) imperial gates, towers and forts dotted throughout the city. We both loved hiking the Great Wall. Seeing it in real life is a whole different kind of magic.

I can't even name all the beautiful things I loved most about Beijing. It is an extraordinary place.
