This really was a busy weekend in Beijing due to the holiday. Our trip on the train didn't start out well because no seats were available. However, our guide went above and beyond to do whatever it would take to get us something and she eventually succeeded. They picked us up on time at our hotel and dropped us off. It was a worthwhile trip and we had a great lunch also.
