At breakfast, noodle soup and wonton soup is also served. There is a buffet of toppings available to add as well. I’ve had one bowl each day we’ve been here.
Today’s our last day in Beijing. I don’t think the kids have appreciated all the history we’ve experienced the past few days. Hopefully one day they’ll come back and see it all again and value their experience.
After breakfast, we visited Beijing Pacific Undersea World. The place is an aquarium with a variety of sea life. The kids enjoyed exploring here. They also tried a 5D ride.
Next was Tiananmen Square. It’s one of the largest public squares in the world. It was really cold today so walking to and around the square was a bit tough.
Lunch was at Hai Di Lao. It’s a popular hot pot place known for their great service (and the service was great) and they’re expanding in the US.
After lunch we stopped at Starbucks for coffee and hot chocolate and David and Big Uncle got taro pies from McDonald’s.
We spent the rest of the afternoon shopping at Qianmendajie and Drum Lane.
