Autumn in Beijing Day 2 - OLYMPIC GREEN

After the 2-hr bus ride from the Great Wall to the City, we took the subway to the Olympic Green station. These were the stuff we saw when we got out of the station:

i don't know what this is haha

huge musical instruments

And since we were so tired and hungry, we headed to one of the Chinese restaurants in the area.

the utensils were actually sealed

We had so much for dinner! It was so authentic yet very cheap! So worth it!:)

Beijing is the home of the 2008 Olympics. It's amazing how Beijing has transformed a huge piece of idle land into a perfect venue for the Olympics.

It was a tiring yet productive day. We headed back to the hotel in the middle of the cold weather. Had so much fun walking while seeing all the city lights.
