Arriving in China was a lot more straight forward than I thought it would be. All 3 forms that you have to fill out were collected and added to the pile without so much as a glance from the customs officials. It seems that people don't like to queue in China and this ensured a swift exit from the airport. We were met by a taxi we had booked, slight problem in that he couldn't remember where he had booked his car. At least that's what I assume had happened, either that or a walking tour of Beijing Airport car park was included in the price.
The stories of Beijings pollution are not exaggerated. Before we landed the pilot described the weather as hazy, I think that the word he was looking for was smoggy.
Highlights: No smog in the hotel
