Beijing The Not So Forbidden City

by urban4est - last update: Nov 24, 2004

Beijing is a fascinating city. I have now been there twice and keep finding it more and more interesting. It abounds in everything the capitol of a large 5,000 year old country should have. From the historical sites and museums to the shopping. Find fashions from all over the world at great prices. The Lufthansa Center has shops from all over Europe. There are also research centers including one on Tibetan traditional medicine. Travel is easier here than in many parts of China as English signs and speakers are more common.

 So you first had Chinese food in the USA? Leave the ducks alone. I have a cartoon character that is a duck and I love ducks but not to eat. Anyway they are too greasy.
