| Page Views: 1,806 Last Visit to Beijing: January, 2005 | Rushing to see as much of Beijing as possible by calcaf38 - last update: Mar 5, 2006 |
I spent three and a half days in Beijing in January.
You shouldn't spend a minute less than that.
I managed to see, in order of my preference:
- The Summer Palace
- The Lama Temple
- The Hutong
- Bei Hai Park and the Lakes
- The Forbidden City
- The Great Wall at Mutianyu
- The Temple of Heaven
I did some shopping at Liulichang and Dazhalan.
And I went to the Opera too. |
|  | A great book to discover Beijing by I recommend reading Rickshaw by Lao She to enjoy Beijing even more. A deep and probing look inside the soul of an unarticulate man, this is a very special novel. |
