Hou hai
By MELODYNYELLOW | 7/15/2006 6:28:21 AM
If I ask you where do you want to go in Beijing? You may answer me "Forbidden city, Great wall, Summer palace...things like that"
Yes you are right, those historical places are really nice and attractive to you foreigners. But as far as I can see, Hou hai should be your "must see" in Beijing. There are many nice little teahouses, chinese styles bars, Restautants and Beijing opera treaters here. It must be one of the best places to go in Beijing.

So called silkstreet
By MELODYNYELLOW | 7/15/2006 6:21:08 AM
I saw that many foreigners shopping in Silk street. If I were you, I would never do that.There are many good places for shopping in Beijing which are a lot better and cheaper than Silk street.
There are many stores in Silk stree selling cheap clothes and traditional things. You may feel excited when you come here at the first moment, but after then you should calm down and clear your eyes when shopping here. Most of the clothes especially silken clothes are not real. Other things like little gifts or crafts are almost bad quality made. Please take care of your wallet and keep it in your eye sight.

Traffic Jams in Beijing
By GERALDINE | 7/8/2006 4:09:30 PM
Being out of our time zone we woke early each morning that we were in Beijing and headed out in to the streets. Fascinated by the real life of the people we wandered for miles in these early hours and saw things that we would not have otherwise seen! The hardest part for us was not getting hit by cyclists as we tried to cross the street. My natural instinct- with us driving on the left in New Zealand, was to look right before crossing. Many years of programming made this a second nature reflex! But that was my downfall as cyclists flew past me coming from the opposite direction- bells ringing loudly!! At an intersection of four large roads in central Beijing I could not beloeve the sheer number of bikes that were there. Watching enthralled for ages as they wove in and out of each other, bells ringing and motorbikes tooting as they all moved along. The lights did seem to control things to some degree but when the pedestrian light went on the flow of bikes did not seem to stop. We worked out that the best idea was to get a local person on your left shoulder and stick with them all the way across the street, they seemed to know what they were doing. The ebb and flow of the bikes over the next hour was indeed something to see- only one of two buses in the whole time and at least a million and a half bikes!

Taxi price in Beijing has been changed.
The price for each kilometer has become CNY 2 instead of CNY 1.6. Nothing else is changed.

The Great Wall
By MURY | 5/18/2006 5:41:54 AM
Do yourself a favour. Find a guide or someone who respects the great wall and get away from the crowds and experience the quiet and special character of a truely great monument. You cannot help but be moved by the idea of the labour and lives of those that worked on this collosal project over the centuries. BUT - respect it and take care when hiking.
