Arrival into Beijing

As this is being blogged, we should have touched down into Beijing International Airport. Whilst we have been staying in Hong Kong these past few days, it's considered a separate region with it's own governing model. This morning we passed over the boarder to China int Shenzhen and took off to Beijing on a 3 hour internal flight with Air China. Flying domestic like this saved us over €200 each and we get to do boarder control at Shenzen as opposed to Beijing. At the moment we are en-route to our hotel and will update later tonight with our first impressions of the peoples capital and real China!
