This morning began with another tasty breakfast in our hotel. We enjoyed pot stickers, coffee, waffles and even congee, a traditional rice like porridge.
Then we met up with our guide and head to the Summer Palace. We walked through the 728 meter elaborately painted Long Corridor and the Empress Cixi's marble boat.
Streets are brimming with red lanterns and the sound firecrackers fill the evening. It is the 6th day of the Chinese New Year celebration here.
The food is delicious and thanks to our guide, today we ate at a tasty restaurant and had Kung Pao Chicken and Peking Duck.
We also had time to visit the Foreign BookStore. There a total of four floors to explore and we could have stayed there for hours but our feet were a bit sore.
Tomorrow's Agenda includes the Great Wall. Only a day and half till we meet our daughter. Wow.
