Kiev-Beijing. An unforgettable journey

My husband and I prefer to travel independently, so we organized our next trip ourselves. As we recently learned thatFrom Kiev launched a direct flight to BeijingBut the cost was very high, so we bought flights to Beijing, but with a transfer in Zurich. Although this will slightly lengthen the time on the road, but in this way we will save a lot.Flights have been safely booked. We practically did not take things, because we counted on the fact that we would skimp on things in China, which cost mere pennies there. Therefore, on the plane we took only hand luggage, which fit all the most necessary things.

We flew to Zurich for two hours, it is a pity that we did not have a visa, I would love to walk around Zurich. I decided to buy tickets to Switzerland next time.
The flight to Beijing from Zurich lasted about 10 hours, although it was a good airline, my husband and I were squeezed like lemons by the end of the flight. By my count, we flew to Beijing for 20 hours.
When I saw Beijing airport, I was even cheered up, because I had never seen such huge, even giant airports before.
Required things to see in Beijing: Great Wall of China, Tian Tan Temple, Peace Park, Pearl Factory, Silk and Tibetan Medicine Center. What I personally didn’t like was the Chinese theater, with all sorts of allegories, was designed for the amateur.
There are many other interesting places to visit, but it is better to visit all together with a guide, because it will be more understandable and interesting.
Of course, I paid special attention to shopping, on this day my husband was resting, and I went to shopping centers, of which there are simply innumerable. I would advise everyone to go to Apple or the silk market. The Chinese are very high prices, so you need to bargain. I bought a lot of stuff there, which isOn the way back there were problems with luggage.The airport said I exceeded my baggage allowance, and I ended up paying $15 for it. Come on, things were worth it.
Overall, I enjoyed my trip to China. I advise everyone.
