I only reserved two days in Beijing, but I found that it was an adequate amount of time to see all the main attractions like Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, Summer Palace, and the Birds Nest. It was much too cold to stay longer anyways! The morning called for a stroll over to Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City as the hotel was only a 5 minutes’ walk. The day couldn’t have gotten any better; the sun layered itself behind the misty clouds to create a nice even light. I decide to fit them both into the day as I knew photo ops were going to present themselves throughout the day.
When I arrived, for a while I just slowly paced around the guards at Tiananmen Square hoping to catch one of them yawning. I will give them this: I definetly don’t have the discipline to stand in the cold in the same spot for hours! After managing to snap a couple of shots, the guards started noticing the real reason why I was hanging around the area for so long, and concentrated even harder to stay composed and not yawn.
