Beijing
· l Great Wall and we advise
travellers to first take the cable car and then walk
over the beautifull wall. Not the other way around,
because thats the heavy way. The wall is very steep
over there and then you walk up in stead of down
· l Beijing's Tiantan Gongyuan
(Temple of Heaven Park) is surprisingly not as crowded
as Beijing's other attractions, and is a nice getaway
from the hustle and bustle of the city. You can easily
spend a day here lounging around, strolling through
the various nooks and crannies of the park and watching
people fly kites.
· The Forbidden City is China
's most imposing architectural masterpiece. It represents
many aspects of China 's long history and is the largest
museum of oriental art in the world. Located in the
center of Beijing , the Forbidden City was built between
1406 and 1420. Twenty-four emperors of the Ming and
Qing Dynasties once lived there. The entire palace covers
an area of 72 hectares and boasts over 9,000 rooms and
halls. Walking through the palace, visitors will have
the felling of passing through a historical corridor.
· l The Summer Palace
Summer Palace , the largest garden and twenty kilometers
northwest of Beijing , has a history of over eight hundred
years. It was the place where the imperial families
of the Qing Dynasty handled government affairs, spent
summer time, celebrated birthdays and simply came for
relaxation.
· l The Chinese acrobats in
Beijing are well worth seeing-amazing agility and flexibility.
Must be seen to be believed
·Wangfujing Foodstall Street Many people may not have
heard a mention of the Street. the street, which is
located on Wanfujing Avenue opposite the McDonald's,
is one of the best and most picturesque places I know
to taste Chinese cuisine. It is packed with foodstalls
from every part of China - Mandchuria, Xinjiang, Guangdong,
Yunnan, and even Taiwan. the evening is probably the
best time to go - the seats may be harder to find, but
this is when the street is the liveliest, and there
is no doubt that all the vendors will try to attract
you to their own restaurant. At night you can even enjoy
a free demonstration of Beijing opera from a balcony
above the street. In a word, whether you are hungry
or not, the street is definitely worth seeing !
