China – Temple of Heaven: an Imperial Sacrificial Altar in Beijing
When my younger brother told our family he was going to spend his first year out of college living and teaching English in China, we prepared for a year full of Skype conversations and missed holidays, as well as the vacation of a lifetime to go visit him.
That was how I found myself on the longest plane trip I had ever taken, stuck in the middle seat between my dad and my boyfriend, who had somehow talked his way into the trip, too.
After about 18 hours of travel time that began at 4 a.m. Arizona time on Saturday, we landed in Beijing at about 3 p.m. on Sunday.
The hotel sent a car to the airport to pick us up when we landed.

Chris heads to China as he continues his tour through Epcot’s World Showcase.
Here’s the crazy thing about me and Walt Disney World that people have trouble believing; there’s still plenty of things I haven’t done. Despite the 15 years of trips, the 10 years of writing about Disney on the Internet, the T-shirts, pins, the basement full of stuff and the borderline obsession I have with the place, I simply haven’t done it all. That mere fact also happens to be one of the things that I love most about the place. We haven’t stayed in every hotel. We haven’t eaten in every restaurant. Believe it or not we still haven’t seen every single attraction! Not to say that we’re not pretty close.

Beijing is a city of contrasts. It’s a place steeped in over 3,000 years of history that’s positioned itself firmly in the future. It’s a crowded metropolis of nearly 22 million people that still offers peaceful places of relaxation.
CNBC’s “Trailblazers” presenter Tania Bryer discovered China’s capital Beijing through the eyes of one of its most famous residents, the musical superstar pianist Lang Lang. Together they explored the venues that inspired his music, his favorite places to eat dumplings and Peking duck, and Beijing’s maze of backstreets known as hutongs.
Olympic virtuoso
Lang Lang is now a global superstar, a rare classical to mainstream cross-over artist. He’s sold millions of albums, topped numerous charts, and is the go-to virtuoso for royalty, presidents and world leaders.
