Beijingner,
Can you provide more info on getting there from PEK? Also, any info on outdoor activities like whitewater rafting, hiking, biking near Beijing or in the vicinity would be greatly appreciated.
Hoping to visit Beijing/China real soon as a side trip from Japan. I welcome your suggestions for places to see and things to do in China.
