Beijing our Last Day!


Today is our last day in Beijing - we load our luggage into the luggage van - YES we have so much that we had to have a special van to bring our luggage to Jinan! We our totally tourists!

We go shopping in down town Beijing before we go to the Beijing train station to take the trip to Jinan! This is the huge department store - we have lunch at McDonald's!

We travel by bus to the train station - I have never seen so many people in my entire life! The throngs of people are amazing, I guess travel by train is very popular and affordable for the Chinese - we put our carry on luggage through the detectors, but we walk around the metal detectors, no one stops us it is very weird! We have soft seats which is 1st class - very nice! We leave at 130 and arrive in Jinan at 600pm - it is raining!

We are off to the Shungeng Resort!

Ms. Smith,

What was the department store like? Did they have a lot of the same things in the US? Enjoy the rest of your trip in Chnia!
