National Day for the People's Republic of China means a nice 10 vacation. Becca, Emily, Megan, and I just had 4 days to go somewhere, since we had to be back in Beijing soon for the Brock/Heather wedding extravaganza. The only place close by with train tickets still available on such short notice was Beidaihe. Its a coastal tourist town in Northern China. Its famous for government dignitaries and China's Russian neighbors visiting its beaches and enjoying fresh seafood! So, we hopped on a one of China's finest fast trains and off we were. In two hours we arrived...
There is no where else I'd rather be than the beach. Even despite the chilly fall weather, the beach provided the perfect quickie getaway.
Sometimes, it was even warm enough to shed a few layers (only for us Americans though, the Chinese were bundled up from head to toe).
