Shopping and Bird's Nest


After a bit of time learning about Jade (did you know in comes in many, many colours?), and other traditional Chinese handicrafts, as well as a fabulous lunch on the way back to Beijing, our next stop was the Olympic Stadium, the Bird's Nest.

Just recently opened to the public, it was a thrill to see it and enter into the stadium and down right on the main staging area, where the mascots were dancing for us! This is a new stop on Asia Collection tours, and our input was requested. It was a unanimous YES that this should be on all Beijing itineraries going forward.

Looks a little chilly there. Good thing Cathy and Carole are wearing their chic scarves.
