JOEZHOU Points: 91 Join Date: Nov 6, 2007 Status: Offline	Hello BOUNCE There are four ways go to the Badaling Great Wall 1.Taking by the bus No 919 from Beijing City to Yanqing County at Deshengmen Long Bus Station lasting about 2 hour one way. The Price is RMB 12/person. This is the cheapest way. But it is difficult go to the Ming Tombs one day. 2.Taking the Sightseeing-bus at Tiananmen Square. The price is RMB 160/person including transportation, lunch (you must tell guide you are vegetarian in advance or you take some food) and ticket of Great Wall and Ming Tombs. This is Trusty way. But I am not sure if there is English tour-guide and shopping on the way. 3.Local travel agencies organize the one-day trip to Great Wall and Ming Tombs and must be shopping at least one time on the way. Some have trap. So please think about it cautiously. Different travel agency has different quotation. 4.Renting a car or taking taxi with English tour-guide is an expensive one day trip. The price may be at least RMB 800 including car and guide. If only one traveler, I suggest to consider the NO TWO way to go. In winter you must feel extreme cold on Great Wall. So be careful.

Hi BOUNCER
By the way, would you tell me where your favorite is?
Suggestion: the best places to visit
Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City and Beihai Park. At evening go to Wangfujing.
The temple of Heaven and Summer Palace. At evening go to Shichahai.
Hot spring in Beijing especially in winter is also wonderful.

The price is about from RMB 200 to RMB 350/room.night depending on the hotel location and the room standard. The room is absolute clean & comfortable and internet is free. So please contact gmail.com\|travelingislife HAVE A GOOD TRIP IN CHINA!

GUEST21184	Ellyse, your grumpy comments are unhelpful. Try being nice. I'm sure you feel very important being well versed in Beijing geography.

GUEST48216	I was told that we can do some shopping just outside the Great Wall. Is this true? I have never been to Beijing, and this is my first trip there. Mei Mei
