It's the first time I travelled to China and I started my trip in China's capital Beijing. In today's video we will explore Beijing's most iconic landmarks such as the forbidden city and the temple of heaven and learn a lot about Chinese culture and history. While I expected Beijing to be crowded, noisy and full of pollution I was surprised to find a city that was not at all as I had expected it to be. But see for yourself what it's really like to explore Beijing!
