    From Tiananmen to Xidan, I asked a policeman how far it was. He said, 'It's very close, just a short walk.' Then I checked – it's 2 kilometers! That's 'very close'?

      2km isn't close? It's just a hop, skip, and a jump!

        After spending the last couple of days sightseeing in Beijing, I swear a kilometer here feels longer than a kilometer in Shanghai.

          Won't it be cold with nothing much to see along the way?

            That's why they say Beijing tour guides have the toughest job in the country.

              They have to walk so much and memorize tons of information, huh.

                I actually managed to schedule the Badaling Great Wall, the National Museum, AND Tiananmen Square all in one day in Beijing! My feet were absolutely killing me by the end.

                  Are you sure you won't get stuck in traffic?

                    @momo Hahahaha, remember when we walked from Wangfujing back to Xishiku? I was so freaking done with it, especially since they wouldn't even let us cross the road!
