Today is our last day in Beijing. It has been a fun week but I am ready to move into our new home in Kunshan and leave behind the stifling smog. I thought I would share some pictures from the past few days as we wrap up our time here.
To start, I found this really cool Chinese ethnic heritage park close to the hotel. It was a giant maze full of relocated historical buildings, examples of the different landscapes in China, and newly created scenes depicting old China, Tibet, and even Korea.

Rice field! |

This seemed so old world and out of place when I was walking down a street full of tall buildings. China is a strange clash of modern and old melded together over time. |

One day when the smog cleared just a little.....we saw mountains in the distance! We were shocked because we had not been able to see that far out most of the time. |

Cat themed bar.....with lots of cats. I don't know how this doesn't break some kind of health code but it was fun! |

Vampire themed bar! I was very excited about this. |
Thanks for reading. We are off to Kunshan tomorrow!
Love, Chelsea

Be careful of the cats. Don't know if they are cared for. Wouldn't want rabies or something nasty.
