Long Weekend in Beijing: Escaping the Crowds

During China's long holidays, it's normal to encounter large crowds. But we were incredibly lucky—every place we visited was surprisingly uncrowded, allowing us to fully enjoy a relaxed and chill trip.

⭐️ The Forbidden City: Absolutely breathtaking! 😮 The grand and majestic architecture, with its stunning copper-gold hues, was so captivating that I couldn't resist snapping photos from almost every angle. 📸

⭐️ Next stop, Qianmen Pedestrian Street 🥢: A perfect blend of classic charm and modern vibes. The street is packed with food stalls and restaurants. Strolling around while enjoying delicious street food was such a delightful experience. Their street food is truly top-notch—definitely a must-try! 🤤

⭐️ The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the Great Wall at Jiayuguan. Although climbing up and down the stairs was exhausting (very exhausting) 🥵, the panoramic view from the top was absolutely worth it. Seeing the wall stretch endlessly into the horizon was just... wow! 🤩 It was so magnificent that it left me speechless.

If you're planning to visit during a long holiday, make sure to plan well. But if you're as lucky as we were to go at the right time, I promise you'll have an amazing experience!
