After the Summer Palace, we had another 'must see' on the list for the day! The Beijing Military Museum! A short walk took us to the subway... first time we had ever used it , but Beijing Subway is all in English, so we needn't have worried. We got chatting to a couple of young soldiers and their mate, who had been an American exchange student, and before we knew it, they had bought our tickets and were pointing us in the right direction. Once on the train the map of the line was again in English as well as Chinese, and a little light moved along it, showing where we were. Announcements were made in English and Chinese, and of course our new friends were anxious to see that we changed at the right station and made sure we knew how many stops after that before we arrived!!!
Beijing Military Museum is free... but the queue for the bag inspection and to get your free ticket, ( which they took off us three steps after we got it!) seemed to take forever in the hot sun!
