"Beijing" Beijing Shi by Katie&Jordi

Inside the Forbidden City

Yes, we have been in Beijing several times . For us, Beijing was the beginning or the end of a trip around China. We have been living in the Northeastern province of Liaoning for the most part of 2005, and Beijing was "The Place" to catch the right train.

We have visited Beijing at different times of the year, and this is one of the reasons why we like it so much. It is always the same city, yet every new season gives it a new and different look.

Take a look at our Travelogues and enjoy all of the variety that Beijing offers.

Afterwards, you can decide to visit Anshan (our hometown in 2005) and the surroundings, Jiaozuo (our hometown for 6 months in 2006), or you can join us in our 2005 Summer Trip through Western China.

• Pros:A great city for walking. The ancient buildings are beautifully illuminated at night.
• Cons:This city is huge! There is a great distance between all the places you want to see.
• In a nutshell:A modest, yet great capital.
