Travel Blogs from Beijing, China
Forbidden City
This is a top pick! We got up later than we wanted to but after breakfast and a grueling two hour game of UNO that just wouldn't end we finally managed to get to the Forbidon City. When we got there we were greeted with a rediculously large line-up for tickets and ...
In The Words of R Nixon "That Was Some Great Wall"

Summer Palace
This is a top pick! ... even more people in the hostel before for quite some time when a guy decided we should all go out to a pub/bar he knew in Beijing. A group of us decided to head out on our way. When we got to the pub someone looked at their watch and realized it was ...
Olympi-mania
This is a top pick! ... with the Olympic mascots; advertisements featuring Olympic ping pong athletes...but it's truly low-profile there compared to Beijing. Topping our list, yesterday while eating dinner we watched a cartoon where the main characters were the ...
One Last Kick in the Teeth from Asia
This is a top pick! We made it to Beijing the next day though with no real trouble and set out to find our way to our hostel. Our plan was to either walk or catch a cab to the nearest subway station and ride that to a station by our hostel. Cabbies of course approached us ...
The Joy Of Counting Luck
This is a top pick! ... I've learned to appreciate in the last three years on the road. My time in any given place is finite, and my trip to Beijing was complete. I felt contentment and closure. My trip had been perfect, and I was ready to go home. Back at the hotel I found ...
Beijing and beyond
This is a top pick! ... We arrived in Beijing at 16:00 23rd July. After crossing the bridge next to the train station we found refuge in KFC as Beijing was instantly overwhelming. We ventured out to find a taxi to get us to our contacts house who would help us reach the ...
The Great Great Wall of China
This is a top pick! ... there is no denying it looks great. We had the privilege of passing through Badaling (The main tourist spot) from the train into Beijing and I got so excited I got my hair caught in the moving fan whilst craning my neck. On the other hand it also becomes ...
Bright Lights Big City Little People
This is a top pick! ... if you may, but I'd happily pay more on the door and be able to see the whole show. In conclusion I've enjoyed Beijing immensely. Its been everything we wanted it to be but now we are 'ready to rumble' onwards. Until next we meet. Be ...
Summer Palace, markets, noodles, and the hutongs
This is a top pick! ... China in quite some time... all construction is stopping at the end of this month, and that has been a part of life as Beijing has built the equivalent of NYC in the past five years... they are deporting millions of migrant workers and telling them to ...
Beijing
This is a top pick! ... you got that? It's simple really..." I feel like Manuel off Fawlty Towers! The most striking aspect of Beijing (and I imagine much of China) is the city's sheer vastness - whether it be the quite extraordinary complex of the Forbidden City, the ...
30 hours later
This is a top pick! ... ; After taking a package of Immodium I managed to survive the journey! Just spent a day looking around Beijing, but I will allow Dom to update the blog later in the week, with our feelings of sight seeing in Beijing. Blog soon people ...

This is a top pick! ... in China than there are in the US. The growing market for foreign luxuries is part of a long-standing trend in modern China. In Beijing, our tour guide, Dave, summed up the "Three Bigs", a colloquial measure of one's standard of living. Thirty years ...
Spitting and Nipples
This is a top pick! "It was a cold, bright afternoon in April as the clock struck thirteen" - 1984 Everything Vinny says about Beijing is true.... All I can add is that I went off to watch some Kung Fu after spending the day being ill while everyone was off marching ...
A weekend in Beijing
This is a top pick! ... by a supermarket to get some simple food and some drinks for the evening, which we spend in the comfort of the lovely Fairmont Beijing. The next morning I attended to some businesses, and we researched a good tour company for a trip to the Great Wall. ...
Beijing, here I come!
This is a top pick! ... . We ran the court for a while and even attracted a decent crowd. Nicky (from Thailand, teaching English, well British, in Beijing for a few months) joined up with us and we went to dinner which turned out to be some sick stuff. We ...
Reflections
This is a top pick! My trip is over, and only now am I actually going to write my memoirs in reverse style. I ought to warn you that you may not believe the things that happened to me during this trip. All of my entries, ...
Beijing is unreal!!!
This is a top pick! ... games and a few aerobic machines later and we were biking away with our tails between our legs but glad we met a really cool Beijing park gang. By the time we reached Henry's place, we were all starving and made a quick turnaround to a restaurant named ...
Exploring bountiful Beijing
This is a top pick! ... musicians sat on pavement stools playing. We took it easy in the heat and humidity, visiting just a few of Beijing's bounty of temples and gardens and taking in the atmosphere. Despite hearing many stories to the contrary, every ...
Beijing - Part 1
This is a top pick! ... so, the square is still pretty big! It was great to discover a subway station right near our hostel - it's made getting around Beijing so quick and easy (so we've managed to do so much already!). We joined the hordes of tourists visiting the Forbidden ...
Tian'anmen Square
This is a top pick! ... run paper, which is posted on huge billboards all over the city for people to read. Definitely weird. Like everything else in Beijing, Tian'anmen Square (ironically, Square of Heavenly Peace) is massive. I tried to get the dimensions but accounts vary. I ...
CHINA!
This is a top pick! ... taking place before me, and now as I cross the street (and succeed) I become part of the music. So incredibly different from Canada, where some of the towns I visited could have been any rural US city. This is China. This is Beijing. I am traveling ...
Beijing - more sights and sounds
This is a top pick! ... as concrete, we ventured out with our new found friends Mariska and Rene. Our first stop on the tourist trail in Beijing was the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. Tiananmen Square conjured up images of military marches seen on television in ...
The Great Wall of China!!!
This is a top pick! ... features a most awesome luge down and the gang tore up the longest luge course I've ever seen! Back in Beijing after a 2 hour traffic delay (normal apparently) we revisited the hutong house for some bbq and beer pong. Nicky and I ...
The Summer Palace
This is a top pick! ... We spend most of the day at the Summer Palace. We were the only people here the last time I was hear in 1989 when Beijing was under marshal law. It was very crowded today. The story of the Summer Palace is that the Queen took the money from ...
Subways, Fried Centipede, and Neon
This is a top pick! ... the additional lines into the future: what about lines three through twelve? The three lines hardly cover the vast expanse of Beijing, but it's a start. KFC, McDonald's, E*TRADE, Rolex, Porsche, Hagen-Datz--they're all here. Despite the modern ...
The Happy Excursion
This is a top pick! ... out in the street. My favorite clothing store in Beijing: "That Person Is According to the Clothing." Just before leaving Beijing, I visited the Old Imperial Summer Palace with Yael from Israel. One of the major attractions was the "Sea of ...
Arrived in the big B.
This is a top pick! ... the fields. The sky was hazy, and a white mist hung over the hills which became steeper and more rugged. We were close to Beijing now, only about a hundred kilometers away. According to the book we should see some parts of the great wall now. As the train ...
We have arrived in Beijing (end of the Trans-Sib)
This is a top pick! ... we have finally completed the Trans-Siberian (well trans-Mongolian for the picky) portion of our trip and have arrived in Beijing. The border crossing was fairly smooth and the bogie changing (with us still on board) was surprisingly efficient! The ...
Temple of Heaven
This is a top pick! ... our way down towards the Temple Of Heaven. Unfortunately, the main temple itself is currently undergoing renovations (as most of Beijing seems to be - probably in prep for the Olympics in 2008). Its going to be wonderful when everything is complete ...
