Overview - Beijing has been called the “Celestial Capital” and the “Center of the World”, but today, we’ll unpack some of the more accessible and friendly parts of this thriving metropolis, including Beihai Park and the Yonghe Lama Temple.
Breakfast - No Beijing day would be complete without starting off with a danbing, or breakfast pancake. These savory pancakes are made from an egg crepe stuffed with scallions and sesames and served with a fried wonton.

Though many have never even heard of it, Macau is a peninsula and a set of two Chinese islands that have a longer history than even Hong Kong.
