Beautiful Beijing

My first time in Beijing

I had just one day stay in Beijing between flights... and I was so sorry I could not stay longer.

Of course I tried to visit the main places: the Forbidden City and Tiananmen (Square of Celestial Peace) of historic interest. I had also some time to spend in the Perl Market for buying souvenir and stuff... and of course tried to feel the city's atmosphere by simply taking a taxi and being driven thru the city.

My second time in Beijing

Since I moved to China, I had no opportunity at all to visit Beijing again. Fortunately this week was a good one and we could take it off to visit the city again.

If you spend here more time, you will then discover how friendly chinese are, how beautiful the city and its parks are and also have the chance to see/visit the Great Wall, which may be a "dream destination" to most of people.

Enjoy my visit...

 Congratulations on an excellent page Alexandre. You seem to have had a great time here. I bet the great wall was a highlight.
