Da Zha Lan Street is where its at
By INTIANJIN | 8/5/2004 3:50:46 AM

Da Zha Lan Street is near Tiananment Square and it's side streets are packed with markets. There are hotels everywhere in the area so you can stay right on the street. The prices are great and you can find everything you could hope for. Its older style China and the area is around 500-600 years old. If you like shopping its the place to go. The shops start closing down around 23:00 or so so you are given lots of time to browse. The peddlers usually ask around 200%-400% rather than the 600-1200% at the more famous markets. I've described it in more detail in my Bejing Travel Report.

Beijing
By CECILIAK | 6/10/2004 5:20:21 PM

We went to the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, The Temple of Heaven, The Prince Gong's Mansion, Soong Ching Ling's Residence, the Great Wall and the Ming's Tombs. Finally we were told by a Beijinger that we should see the China's Nationalities Park. This we did and it was worth going for it was a contrast of a cultural village encompassing the many minority tribes of China. We were entertained with dances and singing at each of these show houses.It was really nice and really worth going even though some of the houses needed better maintenance and upkeep.

Tips for great wall travel

I went to Badaling last winter and got something to whsay for those o is going to visit them. Before you begin to climb the steps, there are two flights of steps leading to two totally different sections. The one on your left side is more flat and the other on the right is a little physical demanding. Remember to lower your body when you get down the steps. Beijing is a windy city and you can imagine the wind on top of this ancient fortification. Therefore, wrap yourself up!
