| The sun is very strong in summer, so don't forget to bring your sunglasses. An umbralla is also necessary since it can block the sunshine. |

| Hi, EZDONALD I am a Beijing girl, part-time tour guide. I am very honored that you choose Beijing as the destination to celebrate your anniversary. Beijing has 8 districts, 4 inner districts, namely, Dong Cheng and Xi Cheng , Chong Wen and Xuan Wu; 4 outer districts, Hai Dian, Chao Yang, Feng Tai and Shi Jing Shan. Dong Cheng and Xi Cheng are historically inhabited by aristocrats, higher-ups and rich people. As the old saying goes, “Dong Fu Xi Gui” which means that aristocrats live in Dong Cheng while the rich live in Xi Cheng. Nowadays, still, many national governmental bodies are located in these two districts. Chong Wen and Xuan Wu are in the south of Beijing. In the past, poor people live there. These two districts are not such developed as Dong and Xi Cheng due to some historical reasons. Hai Dian is famous for its large number of universities, colleges and institutes. Chao Yang is famous for its many foreign embassies in China. Beijing also has many scenic spots, such as the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, these three are in the city. The Great Wall, the Ming Tombs, are a bit far away from downtown. By the way, do you need hotels booking and any other service? I am very pleased if I could help. Thanks. |

| we're just back from beijing.it's a great place.be ready for long walks at the summer palace,great wall, tianamen square and the forbidden city- must have sandals/flatties/sports shoes .be ready with an umbrella too-it rained real heavy when we were at the tianamen- otherwise it can be bought from the street peddlars for Y10 or even Y5.other places of interest are the very old mosques of chinese architectural designs at ma dian and dong shi(partly under renovation). The famous niu ji mosque is closed for renovation.For shopping , Chowai men and Lido market are good. Other options are wang fu jiang, jiang nan silk store.For food , try the chinese muslim restaurants - you can recognise them by their green signboard and arabic calligraphy (chinese version)- the food are sumptous. Have fun and enjoy yr holidays and a happy anniversary. |
