I always thought my walking game was legendary... until Beijing.

[Theodore Wiza]

Twenty minutes? That is pretty close, just over a kilometer. I walk that much pretty much daily.

[Joseph Thompson]

From Tiananmen to Xidan, I asked a policeman how far it was. He said, 'It's very close, just a short walk.' Then I checked – it's 2 kilometers! That's 'very close'?

[Colin Cronin]

2km isn't close? It's just a hop, skip, and a jump!

[Cathy Gulgowski]

After spending the last couple of days sightseeing in Beijing, I swear a kilometer here feels longer than a kilometer in Shanghai.

[Kelley Balistreri]

Won't it be cold with nothing much to see along the way?

[Kathryn Heller]

That's why they say Beijing tour guides have the toughest job in the country.

[Wesley Parisian-Kerluke IV]

They have to walk so much and memorize tons of information, huh.

[Linda Dietrich]

I actually managed to schedule the Badaling Great Wall, the National Museum, AND Tiananmen Square all in one day in Beijing! My feet were absolutely killing me by the end.

[Ms. Beatrice Abernathy]

Are you sure you won't get stuck in traffic?

[Dr. Mandy Walter-Reichert]

@momo Hahahaha, remember when we walked from Wangfujing back to Xishiku? I was so freaking done with it, especially since they wouldn't even let us cross the road!

[Ms. Cecilia Lowe]

And we just powered through the whole thing like that!
