Beijing - Shocking Trip

by dhei - last update: Apr 20, 2004

The Tiananmen from across street

Tiananmen Square

This huge square could be place 1 million people. You can fly a KITE here since this place is a public place. You can also get in to the building which also open for public until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Tiananmen and Forbidden City are just acroos the street. If you wanna cross it, there's a underground tunnel. Please remember that TAXI cannot ride here coz this place is important place. So you must walk, using bus, or using subway.

The Oriental Plaza

The Oriental Plaza is a complex -- 3 blocks from Tiananmen/Forbidden City. This is a one stop place: hotel, apartment, and shopping centre. From this place, you can go straight to Wang Fu Jing -- a shopping street like Orchard Road in Singapore. Cheap!

At the Great Wall

Me and my bro goes to 2 side of the wall, the easy way and hard way. the easy way was full with people. not good to make an art photo :) so we move to the other side. This is what we get! my favorite photo :)

Anyway, there are many "terminal" of Great Wall. My place is near a hotel (I don't remember the name, sorry) and really near to Mongolia Line-zone. other spot was a little near to Ming Thomb.

Cons:"The person -- mostly are not too clean. Sorry for say. And many of them cannot speak English. Even they can, pronounce not so good"
