Went to Beijing the week after Holy Week with hubby's family and my best friend L. Since I no longer have a DSLR, my cameras for this trip were my Olympus PEN EPL-1, my SuperSampler and my iPhone - which was fine because they weren't as bulky and heavy as a DSLR.
Our first stop was Jingshan Park. My SIL, who did the our itinerary and made research, told us the Chinese built the hill to the north of the Forbidden City for good luck.
