Creator's Key Takeaways

I think the top two things we've done in China are the Great Wall and the Summer Palace.

We did what we do best. We booked a Marriott and boy are we glad cuz these rooms are night and day difference.

Definitely a place you should visit.

It didn't feel comfortable. So we moved. We didn't want to be in lockdown. So out we went.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Go early to the Summer Palace to beat the crowds
If you are in a lockdown zone, consider moving to a hotel outside the zone
Visit the Summer Palace while in Beijing
