Beijing - a fascinating city!

by tremendopunto - last update: Sep 25, 2007

Beijing the capital of China is a real highlight. It offers everything you can ask for. Everybody knows the cultural world heritage like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, places like Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace and so on.....but the vivid city life itself from crowded markets to old traditional Hutongs is already fascinating. Go for a try!

Here is a short clip of my trip to the Great Wall section of Simatai

 Enjoyed the video and tip about Simataii Chris. I didnt manage to get to the Gt Wall on my all too short trip to Beijing. This has whetted my appetite to return again. Thanks, Mike
