play tips

Calculate the time, except for eating for about 7 hours, but also listened to the tour guide tell us for 7 hours, around 16.30 we took a look at the appearance of Tsinghua University and Peking University in the picture of our car return, the dream of the year, now it seems that it has to be pinned on the child, haha

Summary: I actually didn't dare to think that it could be so smooth to visit two parks in one day, especially thanks to the tour guide lady of Busda, who also gave us small gifts. Thank you for your hard work. The main thing is that the price is cheap and there are tour guides,   Beijing  Before I came to the park, my impression of this was tightly in the plot of the TV series, but after a professional person said, hey, I understand. Haha
