Beijing, China Sunday, March 7, 2010
I know they still exist: the old fashioned, somewhat dreary hotels we first stayed in when we came to China in 1982. But the place we stayed in on this trip to Beijing was a far, far cry from those places. To my astonishment, there was even a lovely sauna (bastu) downstairs in the hotel's Health Club. It came complete with a Finnish water ladle for putting water on the hot rocks.
