Our 12 hour flight to Beijing from SFO was delayed 45 minutes because the vice-president was leaving at the same time. But we still arrived in Beijing early. Then caught a connecting 2 ½ hour flight to
Xining, China (main reason we are in Xining is to start getting acclimated to
higher altitudes in preparation for our trip to Tibet. Xining is at 7000 feet). Loved the ceiling at the Beijing Airport.
It was after dark when we arrived so we couldn’t see much although the Xining approach was very clear and we could see the city lights well. Many of the tall buildings were lined with lights (mainly red) and it was very pretty. Our hotel room had a direct view to a large mosque. The beds were very firm but not as rock hard as last time we visited China. In bed by about 11:00pm.
