Along the way, Jackson complained about the horrid air quality, writing "The air quality is a lil' questionable."

Like any tourist visiting Beijing, Jackson took in not only the sights but also the delectable cuisine. His fans feasted their eyes on several pictures Jackson took of the dishes he savored. First, he had to try out the Kung Pao Chicken, because you know, it's what you get in a Chinese restaurant.

There's also yet another partial-selfie of him "Sneaking around Tiananmen Square!" as if the whole place was off limits.

Jackson also hit up the hutongs.

Before leaving Beijing for Tokyo, Jackson just had to post one more picture of the Beijing sky: "Air quality questions.... just sayin!" (But just what are you saying, Samuel?)

The Party's over

This is not the first time Jackson has come to Beijing and complained about the air. In March 2014, Jackson also traveled to Beijing to promote Captain America: The Winter Soldier with Scarlett Johansson. During that trip, Jackson also snapped pictures of the sky to indicate the higher than normal AQI levels.
