Beijing, China Was LIFE-CHANGING | Our Trip Into the Future: China surprised us in every way!

Beijing, China was truly life-changing for us — it felt like stepping into the future while still being surrounded by some of the most breathtaking history on Earth. From robots in restaurants, hotels, and stores to electric cars and motorcycles everywhere, Beijing is on another level. The food was a standout, too — and it’s important to note that authentic Chinese cuisine is very different from what many of us are used to in U.S. restaurants. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Travel note: the journey is long. From Washington, DC, our flight was about 18 hours, so plan accordingly and give yourself time to adjust. The temples were stunning, and seeing the Great Wall of China in person was truly breathtaking. (Bring plenty of water and be ready for a workout — those steps are no joke 🤣) For self-care, the spa massages were top-notch — we genuinely felt better afterward and highly recommend adding a massage day to your itinerary. The culture and people were extremely friendly, kind, and courteous. And if you’re Black, be prepared — you may be asked to take photos (in our experience it was respectful and rooted in genuine curiosity). One of our favorite highlights was the bullet train — smooth, fast, and an experience all on its own. We took it to Henan Province, where we explored some truly unforgettable places: Shaolin Temple, Wansui Mountain Amusement Park (Kaifeng), the Henan Museum (Zhengzhou), and the breathtaking Longmen Grottoes (Luoyang). The scenery and historic sites throughout Henan were absolutely mind-blowing. This is a trip we’ll remember forever, and we hope this post inspires you to add Beijing to your travel list.
