I think the above picture says everything you need to know about the Beijing Zoo. Patrick's guidebook had this to say about it: "All zoos are prisons for animals, but the Beijing Zoo is like death row." This place was pretty rough. The "habitats" were little more than dirt holes surrounded by concrete walls. Well, what more do you expect from a zoo that charges you $2.75 to get in?
In the morning we went to the Summer Palace, which most of us agree was the best thing that we've seen in Beijing. The place was gigantic, and most of us were exhausted after wandering around and scaling staircase after staircase to see the different parts of the palace.
Today is our last day in Beijing, and it's a free day for everyone until 5:30. Most people are going shopping. Dr. Marlin is going to the museum of the revolution, and I'm going to visit another logistics company with one of the Chinese professors. Tonight we are having our big farewell dinner feast at a revolving rooftop restaurant, and tomorrow we leave for the airport around 11am.
Look for more posts from Japan!
