    Getting TO/AROUND: Beijing is a city of bicycles. Everywhere you go is a sea of bikes. One of the most amazing sights I have seen is a swarm of bikes going one direction in an intersection meeting another and they just seem to sieve through each other with no collisions. How I don't know. For a real thrill go to Saigon and watch them do the same with motorcycles!

    Getting TO/AROUND: Beijing has a nice subway but Taxis are so cheap that it may not be worth bothering with. However make sure to walk a block or two from your Hotel where the tourist cars are (these are black sedans). These charge western prices. The normal taxis will not cost more the 2-3 USD for a ride across town. However the language barrier can be quite daunting at times.
