if u want to stay safe.....
By TERRORISTMAN4806 | 1/30/2006 5:57:12 PM
One day when i was in china, a bunch of gangsters attacked me for no reason. the only reason i am alive today was because i grabbed hold of one guys knife and broke his fingers. china is not safe for the average tourist, especially if wou are middle eastern. everyone was always laughing at me and throwing food and stuff at me because i was middle eastern and stuff. so one day, when i got attacked, i finally fought back. after i broke the guys fingers, the others ran away but still, it is not safe in the back alleys and stuff

Beijing Roast Duck
By CALIFORNIA | 1/20/2006 7:07:15 PM
Most of you know Beijing Roast Duck,and it is so delicious!And there were many restaurants can made it in Beijing!
Quanjude is the famous,of course,it is the most expensive!!!
If you come to Beijing the first time,I think you should take it in Quanjude!About 450---650RMB/2persons!
And if you lived in Beijing or came here many times,I think you can choose another restaurant,maybe it is different from taste,but it is also good as Quanjude.
You can find it in everywhere:-)
cheers!

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!
