After a month traveling through China<\/a>, I finally arrived in the capital, Beijing, the last stop on this trip. I didn't arrive with very high expectations. For years I had read that it was one of the most polluted cities in the world, gray, difficult to enjoy. But sometimes, prejudices are shattered the moment you set foot in the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing that surprised me was that Beijing wasn't the oppressive city I had imagined. Yes, it's immense and intense, but it also has its good points. There's history in every corner, from its ancient temples to its modern avenues, and a blend of the old, the communist, and the new that ends up fitting together better than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post I'm going to tell you why Beijing ended up being a pleasant surprise, what I liked most, and what things I think are really worth doing.<\/p>\n\n\n
