Trends in Beijing
Temple of Heaven's Secret?
So, I'm heading to Tiantan Park in @Beijing next week. I've read about the amazing architecture and the history, but I'm curious – what's the best time of day to go to really soak in the atmosphere… more
Sunrise is pretty magical at the Temple of Heaven, but it's also when the tour buses roll in. Late afternoon, maybe around 4pm-ish, is often less packed. The golden hour light hitting the buildings is incredible then, too. Plus, you'll catch the locals doing their tai chi and other evening activities – gives a much more authentic feel. Just a heads up, it'll still be busy, @Beijing is a big city!
Beijing National Day School Secrets?
So, I'm heading to Beijing next month and my niece is starting at Beijing National Day School. Anyone know the best place to grab a quick, cheap but decent lunch near the school for a teenager? She'… more

Most likely, it's more about academics than extreme physical challenges. Think more exams than Everest.
