Beijing can be a little overwhelming, so a tour guide is recommended to get visitors through the more crowded attractions a little faster.

It has been many years since I visited China, but I fondly remember eating huge octopus legs - like those in your photo (possibly even larger). Thanks for the reminder.

Terrific narrative of your visit, Barry! And wonderful photos by the talented Mrs. Barford! Appreciate your sharing this with us. Hopefully you were still able to enjoy your daily TravelGumbo fix despite the Great Firewall of China.

Those who know me know that I really don’t like being on a tour. Usually I would rather stay home than be rushed from place to place with no time to really explore a city. This trip was an exception.
