Usually,when you come to beijing for travelling,and you will go to the Forbidden City,Great Wall,Summer Palace,Heaven Temple,Tian'an Men Square and so on!!!They are MUST SEE places.But do you want to know the other small,interesting and historical parks???I recommend Jingshan Park and Zhongshan Park.Jingshan Park in the north of forbidden city,and zhongshan Park in the west of Forbidden City,one is 4RMB,and the other is 3RMB.
Have a nice trip!

Cheap places in Beijing
By ELCABRON | 10/24/2005 8:07:38 AM
If you have a backpacker soul, these tips are helpful:
I recommend the BEIJING FAR EAST YH.
TIESHUXIEJIE No. 90.
Phone: 63018811-3118 or 3119 They charged 45 Kuai in a 3-bed-room. They offer a complete kitchen, washing machine, drier and western style showers and toilets. But the best thing is the location. Outside there is a market street full of streetkitchens, restaurants, supermarkets...only 5 minutes walk from TianAnMen and the ForbiddenCity!
On our difficult way to find a nice place we passed:
1. BEIJING YH, JianGuoMenNeiDaJie No.9 close to Beijing Railwaystation which was said to be brand new...in fact they were still building it in 2003
2. SAGA YH in some bad alleys 700m behind the Beijing YH, with 60 Kuai in a shabby 4-bed-room too expensive for the run down state.
3. ORIENTAL YH, Dondang-third-lane at Donfang Plaza No.8 - good location close to the TianAnMen and fair prices....but booked out! Ah, keep on walking;-)
4. Another place in the middle of nowhere: DIAO YUAN HOSTEL, somewhere next to the channel on YouAnMenDongBinheLu No.135...which is closer to the Temple of Heaven
BUT they have the best guy for organizing trips to the Great Wall!
It is Mr. John:
TieShuXieJie No. 66, XuanWu District. Phone: 83151553, 13901123938, 138012211089 or 13611326769.
Email jian_min@hotmail.com
His place is called ManGuoXiangHuoGuoDian.
A great trip to Simatai for two persons (60 kuai each) for a driver (Mr. John himself) in a jeep. to Simatai it is a 3h drive each way.

Tian men
By SHIRELY | 10/24/2005 3:32:20 AM
Ti'an men is the heart of Beijing, a vast desert of pavement and photo-booths. The square is Mao's creation, asis Chang'an Jie leading up to it.During the Cultural Revolution, the chairman, wearing a Red Guard armband, reviewed parades of up to a million people here.

Hotel near Drum Tower
By JAKIVO | 9/24/2005 11:48:23 AM
The Qomolangma Hotel is inexpensive (rates range from $40 - $ /night). It is less than a 10 minute walk to the Drum Tower and a 15 minute walk to a shopping center (groceries!) and Lotus Lane. (For you Americans that need your coffee and fast food: there is a Starbucks by the lake and a McDonald's by the Drum Tower. But try not to give in! Try sticking to steamy bread and flower tea!) :-)
The hotel is clean and staff are very friendly. Broadband internet works well here. If you want to feel like you live in a non-English speaking area, this is the place. It's great. www.qomolangmahotel.com.
I also stayed for one night in the Beijing Grande Hotel - very nice as well and 10 minutes from the Forbidden City.
Have seen where The Backpackers hotel is - very cool. In an alley/sidestreet but caters to foreign travelers. No problems going into restaurants if you don't know Chinese.
Cheers!

Save 5 yuan in the Beijing Zoo...
By MISHEN | 8/30/2005 9:15:00 PM
If you're going to the Beijing Zoo, and you want to see the pandas, you don't have to pay the extra five yuan for the Panda Hall at the front gate outside. The Pandas' outdoor enclosures are visible from the main public walkways. If the pandas are hiding, you can buy the 5 yuan ticket inside the zoo at the Panda Hall door.
ok, ok, so I'm the kind of guy who sometimes looks at the temple from over the wall if he can get away with it... travelling is expensive...

Belly dancers, snakes and wild music!
By CHINACHICK | 5/29/2005 8:07:46 PM
I first found out about this place about 6 years ago when it was a much smaller place. I went there again a month ago and found that although the area of the restaurant was the same, they have now packed in many more tables.
Afunti is a cross between a beer hall and a kebab house! All the long tables are tightly packed together because once everyone has eaten, you're allowed to get up on them and dance! The highlight of the evening comes when a pretty slim Uighur woman appears on stage in an exotic costume with a snake wrapped round her neck to perform a stunning Arabian Night dance!
The crowd cheers her on and not long after the host invites people on stage to dance with her. There are various competitions in which you can act the fool, have fun and maybe win a hat to take home with you...no, unfortunately...the girl doesn't come with it!
There are so many dishes to choose from and some of them can be quite expensive, so I suggest you choose one of the set meals they offer. The cheapest starts at 100yuan per person and it is wonderful food! Middle Eastern pasta with veg in tomato sauce, roast lamb on skewers seasoned perfectly, fruit platters, fish, pitta bread , and anything youre not too keen on from the set menu, can be swapped with an equivalent valued dish from the main menu.
There are also different types of beers, soft drinks, spirits and cocktails.
