China Tour 2013

The time in Beijing has passed pretty quickly.
After meeting Markus on the first night on Thursday we celebrated on Friday night a small wedding party with Yang Yang and her fresh husband as well the team from Beijing project. Teppanyaki dinner followed by the russian Chocolate Club and afterwards pure nightlife in Sanlitun with Franz from Frankonia.
Saturday morning luckily started without headache and I went on to meet my old friend Jiling for a lunch in Ghost Street (no ghosts, just nice food street in Beijing).
We continued a walk through the famous hutong



Afterwards to Hou Hai where I got my very first accupuncture treatment from Jiling:





It seems it worked, even if I still dont understand why the pain in the knee is treated with needles in my elbow...
Finally we went for the famous Dadong Beijing duck restaurant, a phantastic dinner with front cooking (wondering where all these ducks are coming from)



Now we are waiting to start our journey with the first night train to Datong, we will arrive there by 6 am, short night...

Just leaving Shanghai to Beijing.
