Put the camera away and focus on moment

As we all know, Beijing has outstanding sightseeing attractions, from the globally famous Great Wall and Forbidden City to less familiar but equally fascinating sites such as the Eastern Qing Tombs.

However, when we visit such places, few of us stop and gaze in wonder at the splendor of our surroundings, or contemplate the momentous events that occurred there.

Instead, we grab our camera or smartphone and start shooting away.
