Just came back from a short trip to Beijing. Last time I was there at 1994 and it was such a big change. I already liked the city last time and this time I like it even more.

Beijing has all the essence of being Chinese. There is old and there is modern. There was history and the place is creating history. People there shows a peculiar sense of pride and peace at the same time. As the capital city, it has all the best before and is keeping it today. Weather wise, it still maintains a distinct four season. Residents there shows a healthy lifestyle, enjoying what the landscape provides them. I got to see old people exercising and gathering in parks and gardens. Maybe I should go there to retire.
Last time I did not get to see the Summer Palace and the place is a must go. Such nice scenery even in the cold winter.
And the Tong Ren Tang, Beijing has all the highest grade doctors there. That place really impresses me.
Maybe I should really consider seriously about retiring there ...
