Good curry restaurant in Beijing...
By LEMONCACTUS | 12/17/2005 11:00:30 PM
OK, so I haven't tried any other Indian restaurants in BJ and I hadn't eaten a curry for 6 months...
The Golden Elephant, Beijing
has a relaxed atmosphere and serves up pretty darned delicious Indian and Thai food. Staff are friendly.
Expect to spend about 150-200RMB for 2 including beer.
It's in the ex-pat part of town on Sanlitun Street (a bit of a dodgy looking side-street) but worth the wander. I would definitely recommend it.
Yum!

Oriental Plaza, Beijing - Bargaining!!
By LEMONCACTUS | 12/11/2005 4:22:00 AM
A Chinese friend of mine told me there's no bargaining to be done in the big stores.
Not true.
I went to a store in Oriental Plaza, Wangfujing Street (you can't miss it!) and managed to get 30% off a pair of (REAL) Gortex boots.
So just remember, you can try to get a discount, even in the big/brand stores.
Enjoy!

Something different... try Lao She Tea House
By LEMONCACTUS | 12/11/2005 4:10:34 AM
Join the likes of George Bush (!) and take time out to do something a little different in Beijing. This Tea House is fabulous, located at 3 Qianmen Avenue: here’s their website giving details of prices, performances etc. www.laosheteahouse.com
You can choose how close to the stage you sit and throughout the show your table is filled with traditional Chinese snacks. A rather talented tea-pouring waiter is constantly on hand to make sure your cup is never empty (from a great height!).
The evening show, which I went to, is a mix of music, opera, magic, stand-up and dance: it was a really brilliant experience. They even have a screen up with introductions in English to the different performances. We paid 100RMB and got a table 3 rows from the front with excellent views and the theatre is very small and atmospheric.
It’s a great experience, so do something different, visit this tea house!
Enjoy!

Great Hostel in a Beijing Hutong
By LEMONCACTUS | 12/11/2005 4:13:56 AM
I’d like to recommend Peking Downtown Backpackers. I stayed there in May 2005 and it is cheap, clean and friendly. It is situated in a beautiful, quiet Hutong a little way from the city centre but nothing a short bus ride won’t fix. The staff speak reasonable English and there’s breakfast thrown in for the price too. (I can recommend the Chinese breakfast, the dumplings are great!) They do excellent Great Wall Trips for a good price. 24hour hot water. They can say it a lot better than I can (they have loads going on!), so check out their website at http://greatwalladventure.com/Beijing-hostel.htm
Also of note lining the Hutong are tiny cafes, restaurants and the fabulous Passby Bar is 5 minutes walk away. Also the hostel is very close to the Bell and Drum Towers.
Definitely worth a look.
Enjoy!

Jiankou Great Wall
By CALIFORNIA | 11/21/2005 2:57:00 AM
Great Wall was famous in the world,and you know,it cross a few provinces,when you come to Beijing,maybe you know Badaling,Mutianyu,or Simatai Great Wall,but when you watched the Great Wall from TV,the pics all come from the section was named Jiankou!
From the downtown of Beijing---Dongzhimen Coach Station to Huairou District,6RMB,and then rent a car,the whole trip about 90---120RMB,Gate Ticket 10RMB!
You can spend two days in there,and live in the farmer's houses,about 10---40RMB/per.
Have a nice trip!
