Beijing Trip 13/10/07 to 17/10/07
12:46 PM

The 5 of us (Sophia, Steven, Cheryl, Ivan and me) went to Beijing during our reading week. It was a last minute decision and so we paid a little more for the air tix. I din noe that there is this place in mongkok that has 4 floors filled with travel agencies...so we went to source for best bargains...but nothing good...

We went for a 5-day trip and visited places like Great Wall, Summer Palace, Forbidden City, Tianamen, Tiantan, Wanfujing shopping district...Tried the famous peking duck...and other street food! Overall the experience was good...juz that i din like the ppl there....so rude and kept pushing us...We're supposed to travel on budget; living in a hostel which was clean and safe in a good location and took public buses all over...but for food wise, we spent a little more...to pamper ourselves! I esp like this place in Beijing...called Hou Hai. A place similar to Clarke Quay, but many times nicer...we're able to see our reflection fr the river...and the whole stretch of bars are lined along this river...which makes this place so peaceful and relaxing...
