Sorry for not updating during a long time but have been quite busy.
Two weeks ago we had National Holiday in China and many people travelled across China - it is a small logistic miracle every year whel several million Chinese go by bus, train and airplane on the same days....
A lot of people from other parts of China visit Beijing during this holiday. This is the way it can look at Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City during one of the peak days.

A lot of people from other parts of China visit Beijing during this holiday. This is the way it can look at Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City during one of the peak days.
8,2 million people visited Beijing major tourist sites during the week and later 38,75 tons rubbish was swept up from Tiananmen Square (last year 80 tons).
Also the Great Wall was crowded with people.
In Badaling, 396 000 people climbed over each other.
According to the Beijing News, Beijing ate RMB 115 million worth of food, a 53.6% increase on last year.
Beijing parks saw almost 3 million visitors over the seven-day break. The Summer Palace (Yiheyuan) proved the most popular with 443,900 visitors. The Altar of Heavan (Tiantan) attracted 353,300, Beihai Park 229,700 and Fragrant Hills (Xiangshan) about 200,000.
So, a good advice from friends was NOT to stay in Beijing over the holiday. We did not - we went to Inner Mongolia....
