We kicked off our first self-driving trip to Yanqing, leaving at 9 a.m. after some clumsy adjustments to the rental car. Though I was nervous at first, I soon found my rhythm.
After a meal and some light shopping, we braved the rain to enjoy a music festival from afternoon to night. Highlights included NeongGarden, Constant & Change, 831, and the unforgettable energy of Second-Hand Rose, which had us all up dancing.
We ended the day at a charming guesthouse in an ancient town. No zongzi yet, but it was a special start to our Dragon Boat Festival.
