| Pros: | "The historical sites, Great Wall, old Hutong areas" | | Cons: | "The congestion in Beijing, dishonest taxi drivers and aggressive vendors at markets" | | In A Nutshell: | "A trip to Beijing is well worth it b/c seeing the Great Wall, especially at Mutianyu will take your breath away!" |

Hi DJ! Nice China tips and I found the toilet tips amusing, hehehe...glad to see somebody else from Arizona, jumpingnorman :) | SLLiew Fri Jun 20, 2008 05:36 UTC
Great tips. The Great Wall is still impressive with its length and steep steps. I enjoyed the giant animal statues leading to the Mong Tombs but was warned that the tombs themselves are empty chambers - looted long ago. Cheers, SL :) | MrDragon Mon Oct 22, 2007 16:56 UTC
I didn't like the Ming Tombs either, but the nearby Sacred Road is actually very nice, so I you've booked a trip that combines both, try to spend more time at that place. | Jim_Eliason Sat Sep 23, 2006 22:28 UTC
Nice tips, I know what you mean on the Ming tombs, the grounds itself are better than the tombs. |
