Meteor Shower

I know you're thinking, how can you possibly see meteors with the light pollution in Beijing? Well, we trekked all the way to the Thirteen Ming Tombs to catch a glimpse of the meteors at 1 am, and it was absolutely amazing! Not only could you see the streaks of shooting stars, you could also see the nebulae of the Milky Way, and the tottering orbits of satellites. One of the coolest things I've done in Beijing by far!
