Beijing, the capital of China, is the center of politics and culture. Beijing travel will be the first choice if you want to have a tour to China. The Beijing Imperial Palace built by Zhuli the emperor in Ming Dynasty is now the symbol of Beijing, which is the first attraction to visit for our travel in Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan. The palace has a long history of about 500 years, going through Ming and Qing Dynasties and was repaired massively since 1950s. It was listed as one of “The World Cultural Heritages” by UNESCO in 1988 and is called “The Palace Museum” now.

After a several days in Beijing, we went to a quieter city---Tianjin, which is a municipality next to Beijing and it is another important city though it’s not as famous as Beijing. Speaking of Tianjin, “Goubuli” steamed bun will firstly come to people’s mind. Started from 1858, it has a history of 100 years and has become one of the famous snacks in China. We made a Tianjin hotel reservation, which allowed us to have a good rest after the whole day sightseeing.
