We like Beijing, even if it is a bit sterile relative to Shanghai. Here are few things we like to do when we are in Beijing:
- 798
- Peking Duck @ Made in China at the Grand Hyatt Beijing (make sure you pre-order it when you make your dinner reservation)
- Hand pull noodles at Noodlebar @ 1949 Hidden City Complex
There’s also some great historic sites.
