Today we visited the Beijing Summer Palace, which was the summer residence of the emperors. There's a huge lake and several temples to visit. It's immense.

We visit the financial area to see the skyline, before we make a small stop at the Silk Market, a mall where we buy imitations, hour and a half of hard bargaining rewards us with wind breakers and raincoats of fairly good quality.

When we return to the hostel, our metro station is closed, we go out to the surface and we see police everywhere, our street is cut off. We explain to the policeman that we are staying at the Quian Men hostel and he lets us in.

In the accommodation they explain us that they are going to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China and they are doing rehearsals. Suddenly a rain of fireworks leaves us stunned, impressive for just a rehearsal.
Accommodation: Quian Men hostel.
