Beijing - Imperial Peking

by SLLiew - last update: May 19, 2009


UPATED: I visited Beijing again in August 2008 for the Olympic Games Opening Ceremony and other events.

If there is only 1 place you can visit in China, it should be Beijing.

The grandeur of Chinese civilization encapsulated in the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and the nearby Great Wall of China.

In my humble opinion, these 3 places could immortalize the Chinese psyche of the way of life, rule and order, peace and harmony and a legacy for current and future generation of mainland Chinese and Chinese over the world and to share with the rest of the world.


Of course, I did not miss the Peking duck and the Peking Opera.

Long live Beijing. Hope you will enjoy reading my tips under Sports Travel for some of the sporting events that I had witnessed at the Beijing Summer Olympics Games 2008.

 Indeed, all your tips are very helpful for first timers to visit Beijing. I am planning to go in end of January 2010 to experience the cold dry winter. I will print a copy for quick reference. Cheers.

 We had sent our dealers to China last week. China is surely 20 years ahead of India in almost everything. I can freak out at Chinese restaurants, and over Peking Duck!! I sha be back for more.
