No.8 Jinyu Alley, Wangfujing, Dongcheng District Beijing, China, 100006, 010-85162888
Chegamos no Peninsula e a mulherada ficou surpresa com o luxo. Todas as grandes marcas tem lojas no shopping do hotel. Fizemos um check-in super rapido, e combinamos de nos encontrar as 9:00 para uma volta de reconhecimento pela Wangfujin, rua de pedetres a duas quadras do hotel e principal rua de comercio de Beijing.O quarto do hotel eh super confortavel, eficiente e com tudo o que precisa. Banheiro otimo. Cama idem. Tomamos um banho para tirar o aviao do corpo e saimos. A PAula estava cho...
Beijing, China airtonComecamos o dia pontualmente as 9:00. Todos ainda estao timidos, logo, ninguem ousou atrasar. Fomos direto para um mercado de quinqulharias varias, te todas as formas e cores que todas adoraram. A PAula comecou a fotografar e eu fiquei olhando tudo. Compramos uma linda foto de criancas para nossa casa nova e uma caixa velha de acucar para a mesa de centro do escritorio. Foi tudo.
Beijing, China airton"National Week" is a week long holiday where people celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China (Oct. 2nd) and the Mid-Autumn festival (Oct. 6). Corinne came to visit during this time. Up to this point, I had not visited Beijing as a tourist and was looking forward to seeing these famous places. In one week we saw a lot - even places that we never intended on visiting, but more on that later. She arrived on Friday, Sept. 29. We went out that night for Peking duck with my roommate...
Beijing, China angelagiampoloAfter a brief layover in Hanoi, Beijing. CHINA It's just one of those words you use to talk about things far away, and things close by that are made far away. You hear rumors circulating about their up and coming position as an economic power. They're hosting the Olympics in 2008. It's supposedly going to be they're coming out party. You hear of the insesitivity of its governement and the ease with which 3,000,000 homes are unwillfully evicted to make room for a lake. You hear about millions ...
Beijing, China cjs150D and I did a bit of shopping in the morning after our ritual, taking a dip in the pool with a cup of tea and reading the paper. DragonAir took us to Beijing.

In between the events on Saturday we will go to the Forbidden City. On Sunday w...
Beijing, China klfoleyArrived at the airport to find that my visa is no longer valid. Apparently changing flight at Shanghai counts as having entered the country, so the visa is expired. Am currently sat in the airport for 6 hours and $120 lighter whilst a new one gets delivered from the embassy. Hong Kong? Phooey! ...time passes... Hanging around in the airport wasn't too bad though. Amusing to see a chap walk through wearing sunglasses and flanked by two burly security guards and chased by a man taking lots of p...

... firewood. I was so proud of them, honestly. It was kind of like a was a boy scout troupe leader or something. Then we sat around and made hot dogs and s'mores around the fire, which none of them had ever done before. I thanked them all for coming with me, because I was so happy to be camping. It had been so long, and I need to be out in nature every now and then so I can have a bit of a break or else I start to get stir crazy. We spent the evening around the camp ...
Beijing, China justjonas... extensive wall was built by hand. Many men died while they were building it, and their remains were built into the wall. It's so impressive and remarkable that it LITERALLY takes your breath away. Jose & I decided we would be iron-men and try to walk a decent (short) portion of this wall -> . Let's just say I was out of ...
Beijing, China katica1728... less than the god of heaven) and there are two man-made rivers in front and a man-made mountain behind, to satisfy feng shui. There was a big palace for the numerous concubines and another for the widows of the previous emporer. One concubine, who was originally a maid, became the regent for her 4 year old son. He died at 19 so she set up her nephew ...
Beijing, China ozitag... rating on hostelworld. There was no map on the site just directions and we didn't have a decent map. When we got to the city we asked th bus driver if we were getting off at the right stop and like most Chinese to avoid having to explain they just say yes. And about 2 seconds after getting off the bus I knew we where nowhere near. I laughed to myself thinking not again...... but it was ment to be this time, we got a taxi and the driver rang the hostel and ...
