72 hours in Beijing
Traveling to China is no longer a luxury for many foreign passport holders. The Chinese government has permitted a 72-hour visa-free policy that offers access to visitors from 53 countries including the US, France and Austria. Let's start with the capital of China, Beijing. Here's a pick of the best in Beijing!
Mutianyu Great Wall
Your trip to Beijing isn't really complete without seeing one of the “New Seven Wonders of the World”, the Great Wall of China. The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is by far the most well-preserved of all. Taking a one-hour bus ride, Mutianyu would be your ideal location for a half-day of hiking away from the large crowds in the city. Also, the authorities have allowed tourists to paint graffiti on a specific section of the Great Wall since 2014. The Great Wall was designated (指定) a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987. 798 Art Zone
This would be on the top of my list! Named after the 798 factory that was built in the 1950s, the art zone is home to various galleries, design studios, art exhibition spaces, fashionable shops and bars. You could easily spend half your day wandering around the complex, feeling the contrast of the present and the past.

intention of doing something else after. But she fell in love with farming and said she could not imagine doing anything else.
“In the United States, organic farming is a growing, $50 billion industry. Organically grown food is made and processed with no man-made fertilizers or pesticide products.The average organic farm is about 141 hectares compared to 178 hectares for a commercial farm. The smaller size means less money is needed to support them, making them popular among new farmers,” said Sophie Ackoff. She is vice president of policy and campaigns at the National Young Farmers Coalition.
These groups, and new young farmers, chose organic farming because of their desire to have an influence on society, Ackoff and several farmers said.She said that they were choosing it “to protect natural resources for future generations, to fight climate change, to feed their community good, and healthy food.”
Although organic farming is growing quickly, it comes with high labor costs and sometimes smaller harvests than commercial farming. So it can be a difficult business for new farmers.
