Doesn't matter if you're a package tour oldster or an off the beaten track hipster, there's only one sight that is compulsory if you're in the region of Beijing: The Great Wall of China. As it happens, due to out of date info on bus services to Simatai, I became a package tour proto-grandad. No…

Woke up around 9am to some amazing scenery, right in the middle of the Gobi desert now, I am sure you can imagine the scene. Past a pretty large section of the Great Wall and came into Beijing at around 2pm. We met Tracey our Honco and transferred to our hotel by about 3.30pm, we decided to meet …

The Temple of Heaven is the last of my sightseeing in Bejiing.  The park is easy to reach by underground from the hostel where we are staying which is a km or so north-east of the Forbidden City and only 2 minutes walk from the underground.  This is the new underground line built&nbs…

The worlds most great trainride to the far east

Haircuts: Well I have been in China about 9 months now.  I have gotten my hair cut about 9 times in that period.  There are many places to get your haircut in China in the complex that I live in there is at least 6 different stores.   From the sign I know where I get my hai…

China 60 years birthday in Beijing, the weather was soooo nice, the people was sooo great, the food was sooo yummy, the shopping was soo cheap.

I was lucky to be able to fulfill my promise i given to myself back on the 90's and at the same time watch the olympics at Beijing. Here there are photos not only from the olympics but also from museums, the great wall, etc. I will upload more photos slowly as they are too many to doit in one go. Hope you all enjoy.

On the penultimate day of the course I managed to oversleep and miss the first class!  Given how many ridiculously late nights I’d been having this was actually the first time I’d not made it to lessons on time. We were told at the start of the course that missing classes without a good e…

Thursday August 11th, 2005Beijing, China10:30 amHow weird it is - to actually be in The Forbidden City. I remember reading back in 6th grade about the mass killing of college students here in 70's. And now, here I am. Walking in the picture of the man infront of the tank. Only 30 years later.How cr…

Templo de los Lamas El más grande de los templos lamaístas de la capital y a su vez una de las construcciones religiosas más interesantes. En el Salón de la Eterna Protección hay dos tankas especialmente famosos, pues se dice que fueron bordados por la madre del emperador Qianlong. T…

History, Food, Chinese culture, as the capital of China, Beijing is the best choice for who want to experience the country without paying further time and money. Though, for me, its a hub city when travelling in China, and a place to meet friends. So, i gonna introduce some less visited places, that seems to be interesting for people get bored with major sites like me.

have been to HK so many times but never stepped into Mainland China until now...I miss my baby Amy in Beijing!! Gotta go visit her!!

The pictures speak for themselves i hope :)

I made a business trip to China to work for 3 days and ended up staying for 11. The place was simply fabulous. We enjoyed amazing food, great sites and unbelievable shopping. Here are just a few of the shots, more are available on my photo site http://gallery.mac.com/robmccall#gallery

Night trains, Sultana taxis, and one illegal/broken down bus later, I am please to share with you China and Tibet.
