Beijing Travel Blogs - Page 10

so here I am! A different world. This is so unlike all my travels. China is beautiful but also very dirty. But I choose to only see the beautiful, because that is so much nicer! My classes start tomorrow, and I am looking forward to them! I am still a bit jet lagged. and one thing I really need t…

I've found a new site where I've transferred most of this blog AND am able to add my photos with no problems.  Please check it out at www.jadeintherough.etraveldiary.com Hope it works better!  Zai jian for now.

Zoals vorige week geschreven, hadden we voor vandaag een uitstapje geboekt naar Mutianyu, een van de 4 delen van de Great Wall (Chinese Muur) die gerestaureerd zijn. Mutianyu is minder commercieel dan Badaling, waar we steeds met de adoptiereizen zijn geweest.Vanmorgen zijn we dan ook om 6 uur opge…

We boarded our Chinese train to Ulaanbaatar ... a journey of 30 hours across 1356 km.  Spotted the Great Wall outside Beijing but the scenery soon turned dusty brownish-green ... the steppes in dry weather and Gobi Desert.  We had a nice 2-berth cabin with a shared shower with the next ca…

well i did Beijing!!! Not exactly the best weather to tour around this big big city but ah well!!! u gotta do everything whether its rain on shine ey!!!  5 full days of nonstop touring and shopping (of course!!). With 10 of us hopping into an express train to Beijing, the 12 hour trip was alo…

Shanghai is a beautiful and elegant city. i felt like New York or Paris. Great shops and Malls, big boulevards, incredible buildings. Stay too short only three days, everybody is preparing for the big 2010 world fair. I went to this magnificent show of acrobatics in Beijing... It was really som…

finally the great wall. i was still awe-struck even though i have been there before.  the giant wall made of bricks and rock just snakes along the mountain ridge for as far as the eye can see. the decayed wall from hundreds of years ago gives out this strange "lord of the rings" vibe. i felt l…

Definately my favourite city so far in China, despite the building work on the roads that seems to be going on everywhere - there was a massive ditch on the outside of our hostel. We were quite tired when we got in from the sleeper, so we got showers and had the best breakfast so far on the whole t…

Great wall

So we arrived back into Beijing on a bit of a high, just in time for the Olympic opening ceremony! Before we left for the wall we had bargained for a room in a hostel very near Tiannenmen Square. We managed to get a room for half the advertised price, although it probably has more to do w…

The flight from Xian to Beijing was over one hour 30 minutes, and it was quite intersting to fly a domestic chinese flight. In the flight the crew members bow to you, and they provided you with free roasted green peas and a drink. They had a video about swine flu, and in it the characters were pigs…

I actually wasn't planning on going to Beijing...  my travel buddy.. ahem, my dad and I were orginally supposed to go to a small province in China called Fujian. However, because not enough people wanted to go on the tour to the province we went to the travel agency to change our plans... it w…

Traveling with a group of Tae Kwon Do students and Masters was fun way to see these cities. The tour started with Tiananmen Square, which is the front door to the Forbidden city. Also there is Tiananmen Tower, Monument to the Peoples Heroes, Great hall of the People & Chairman Mao's Memorial Ha…

I am staying for one month in China. My dad has a conference in Beijing and will be giving some lectures. That gives me some time to explore this city on my own.

If u have never been to Beijing, may be a little pity...So many beautiful hu tongs and so many special food ...It'll satisty your stomach, and appreciate your eyes...
