My Visit to China- Beijiing

Beijing is a very beautiful city, starting from the beautiful airport with endless ceiling, getting from the Aircraft to the next train and through customers was very easy and efficient; there are signs in English and Chinese everywhere.

Very beautiful bus with all the facilities to Sun world Hotel,

My first visit was to the T- Man square, the T- man square is in the center of the city, and it is more like a heroes Acre.

My second visit was to the Forbidden City. The emperors used to live in this city during the Asian days, very beautiful architectures and very interesting history. I visited the emperor’s garden in the Forbidden City.

There are all facilities in the forbidden cities , such as toilets and little shops.

The only advice I can give! Visit when its summer.

Weather in Winter

The weather is very cold ranging from -8 to -14, I could hardly feel my toes and fingers.

My next stop was to a traditional Chinese restaurant “ I am sorry I can’t recall the name”. This restaurant is common in traditional noodles, variety of noodles dishes kept coming ………, be ready for unusual meals and an traditional Chinese Restroom.

The next stop was to the silk factory. This is where you learn how the silk is produced.

Tips you can buy very beautiful Blankets, clothes, rugs made out of silk.

Hou Tong Tours

My next stop was at Hou tong Tours , Where I had a very interesting tour around the Hou tong town, Hou tong is a little township , where you find the traditional Chinese house and lifestyle. This houses are 300 years old.

Very interesting history. the tour is on a bicycle rickshawk.

My last stop that day was to the Great Wall of China, very amazing please take the right shoes and camera. very beautiful view, i couldnt make it to the top, i took the wrong path.

The cable car is the best idea and still go climbing.

there is great markert below the wall, where you can buy drie fruits such as kiwi, strawberries , oranges ,apples ....you name it. very nice.

The wall is amazing!

My last stop was at the Silk Market, where you can bargain for items such as clothes ,shoes,jewellery, electronics etc.

I also visited the chinese traditional hospital the best in china, just for the chinese body examination, Very interesting and free you only get to pay for a foot message that cost about 20 Yuan.

If you are find unhealthy you can buy the medicines. Luckly i was only found unfit.:)

Not to forget my favorite part of the journey was at the Beijing Zoo, where i got to see the Pandas.

and right across the Zoo is a big cheap mall that sells beuatiful cheap clothes and shoes, that is where my last money got finish.:(
