Ah, it's that amazing 1.9m tall handsome commentator/guide!

I absolutely love the food in Picture 1!

It truly is a bit of a food desert. The Peking duck from a place near my home is tastier than what you get at Siji Minfu, and it costs less than 20% of their price. It really feels like you're just paying to suffer.

Beijing truly has a sense of grandeur that other, more 'delicate' cities can't match.

I think that's exactly it. My throat was painfully dry every night when I was in Beijing.

In my personal experience, this situation is much better in Shenzhen. Maybe it's because most people there are migrants, so they don't try to rip off newcomers.

Could you tell me, what places are comparable to Tiananmen Square? Or the Forbidden City? Or Xinhua Gate? Or Weiming Lake and Boya Pagoda?
