I keep hearing: "You sure you don't want to follow tour in China?" Really freaking me out... hahhaa... already nervous like hell.. that's why I only plan one or two activity per day. We didn't want to follow tour because heard a lot of horror stories where they bring you to side-trips to the shops which you are not interested in. And being rushed all the time. And have to wait for other people. Anyway, I already bought a copy of Lonely Planet's Beijing City Guide so May the Force be with us! :D
