Beijing riverside hotel

After a good flight with surprisingly good airplane food, we arrived at Beijing airport. Though the airplane touched down at 3:50 pm, because the airport is so big, we finally got on our bus at 5:30. The immigration line and customs lines are very efficient and move the thousands of people and their luggage with ease. We were met by a Sinorama guide named Risa who will stay with us for the whole
Two weeks. The hotel is on the opposite side of the city from the airport so the drive took 90 minutes even though it was a Sunday evening. We met our tour mates who are all Canadian and will add a couple of Australians tomorrow. Beautiful hotel and room and after a bit of preparing for tomorrow’s busy day, the pillow beckoned.
