Beijing Botanical Garden

This morning some of us visited the Beijing Botanical Garden. It was beautiful there, but the journey was not so beautiful. It was about an hour long bus ride and as I said before, Beijing public transport is VERY crowded. Not only was it extremely cramped, but today was definetly one of the hottest days we've experienced in Beijing. So we spent an hour on an overfilled, hot and sweaty bus. Besides that it was awesome!

The gardens were amazing. There were a lot of different types of plants and flowers. There was also a lake and waterfall. It was very peaceful and serene. We ended up just sitting and relaxing for most of our visit. It was very nice to get out of the city and and enjoy fresh(ish) air and nature and not hear the cars zooming down the road and honking their horns. We had a very good and relaxing day.

Zai jian!
