“Far East international youth hostel trip”

Never have enough good things to say for the Far East International Youth Hostel. Despite the name being quite a mouthful i'd recommend it for any would be traveller. The service was wonderful, organising trips to the great wall for our group. They even lent us some spending money. There's a bar downstairs which has pool and a library. You can even take a book if you donate one as well. The rooms are clean if a little cramped. And the breakfast service was superb. Its location is also excellent, located amongst one of the many hutongs. The only criticism would be that the bar closed at twelve. Rats.

We shared a 6 bunk bed room between the four of us. Plenty of room and clean. Bathroom facilities were shared. There was a nice breakfast room with Continental breakfasts as well as cooked breakfasts. Internet room was very handy to research our trips and tours during our stay. The staff were super friendly and helpful.

Arriving in Beijing
The day where we arrive in Beijing, get lost, eventually find the hostel and eat duck!

We stayed in a pretty cool hostel called "The Far East International Youth Hostel" (Yuan Dong Bin Guan). It had a 24 hour coffee bar where they serve great coffee and play movies for free. They also had a 'do it yourself' laundry room which was luxury for us. The people working there were also very friendly and helpful. It didn't take them long to …

We had a look around the famous tiananmen square but not to long as it was raining. So we HAD to go and have some food ;-) We are in a dorm room now and slept …
ATM is not working
Written by Jeroen China, Beijing, 14-05-2004 After 1.5 days in the train we arive at around 14.30 at Beijin Central Station. To me always an exciting moment. New country, Big city, what is there to do and how do things work? Up till here we pretty much had everything organised. Now we are free to go or stay when we want. first things first... We …
Beijing.
So at long last we reached the capital of China. Much has been said and written about this city so I will spare most of the boring details outside of what you can see in our pictures. For one, Bejing has an amazing metro line, better than anything we have encountered on our trip. It is also brand new (finished just before the Olympics) so this is …
