Beijing is increasing in a big way, in fact, a microcosm of the country in rapid movement as a whole. Whatever the catalyst Olympics, make the "human" things that happen in the republic and a little 'smallI am pleased to be part of it, either coins jingling, a gift or to photograph the skyline of the city to share with my readers. It 'a city where the law is imperfect enough to complain about - pollution, heavy traffic - but also made great strides in improving living conditions and daily offers much in terms of cultural heritage and attractions.
Trigger Finger
Some airlines offer nonstop service to Beijing from the United States. My career was in New York / NewJersey to Beijing two years ago and yes, it is only as long as many who do not dare, it is feared, but it appears at the end of the day "," 13 hours is not as bad as four hour stopover in Tokyo and the other two come from there .If you are alone you know in advance what the price of a taxi from the airport to your hotel. The hotels usually have this information, and often wrote on their website in the formthe length and cost. Of course this is not always mean much if you try to negotiate a turn, not to mention a reasonable price with a taxi driver who does not understand your language, but at least you are armed with an idea and something to see. Many pilots are required to bring their business relationship and to deliver it to say, write the number of the car or keep your receipt for later use when they try to rip off.
Also avoid the vicious circleGeier, plague through the corridors in search of aliens coming from the direction of the door case, because they have their rate two times higher than regular taxis are not entitled to manage. Another option is to go to the kiosk and simply take a car service to get to your hotel. It 's a bit more expensive but can be cheaper because they accept payment by credit card, and it is easier to introduce it to your destination as a taxi alone. ToDetails, 40 minutes by taxi from the Holiday Inn Downtown should be 120-150 RMB, or about $ 15 to $ 20 execution.
Bypass can be very useful when navigating in a city like Beijing, because it probably riding cabins Everyplace you go, whether you are a little 'common sense and experience on the bus or subway. Of course, it also helps friends who can drive, but beyond that, taxis are the best way to move very cheap by WesternStandard. It 's easy to be carried away by this, add this attractive prices for transportation, room and board, and even small changes quickly, where you wonder how the 800 RMB (Yuan) there is the realization of your portfolio suddenly declined to 340. Tipping is not expected or required.
Accommodations in Beijing, as with any big city, can be modest or outrageous as you want. I recommend a good three or four star hotel not far from the businessDistrict can expect to pay about $ 60 - $ 70 per night. Also be prepared for an additional 15% tacked on the bill, and as in every hotel, less material consumption on site and visit a local business that you need - You will earn much money and may even raise a smile from the dealer.
Beijing is a big city, but much of what it offers in terms of attractions, not to resist the Great Wall is relatively close to downtown. An aerial view of the cityexhibition at the center, where the Tiananmen Square and the government quarter and the Palace Museum is popular. From there, the city of six "ring" roads described, I would say its circular shape, but they are valuable clues for anyone to venture alone. The last two are from the city to be truly useful on the tourist maps, but they exist, and a seventh was tested.
Although much of the tourist scene isCenter and the 2nd Ring where you can find a variety of traditional buildings and temples with the wonders of the modern financial center of the road, beyond the second ring is a large group with other attractions such as the density and thins the parking space and the ' Opening presents. Thus, between the second and third rings, we find, for example, that the Beijing Zoo, Temple of Heaven and a wide range of theaters, museums, mosques and cultural centers.
Beijingless cultural and more cosmopolitan Shanghai, enabling visitors to see better, with bands on the international fashion and fancy clubs and more to do with traditional and sacred temples of the park. Probably it was not always so, but due to modernization rather surprising in Shanghai, more or less the uprooting of their traditional base, it will be difficult, all major cities against them on the ground too long. That is, Beijing is not without a great deal of modernity andThe progress is simply not as deep as you could see Shanghai and harder to find the glitz and glamor.
Although some feel glamorous - romantic, perhaps - Hou Hai lake area is certainly a popular attraction for tourists and residents, and among the most popular clubs in town. Located in Dongcheng District, north of Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City, the "country" of this artificial lake filled with terraces and a selection of restaurants and numerousBar also locally known as Hou Hai Bar Street, the title is a good indicator that all that the spirit of free competition is alive and well. Top of Lotus Lane, a busy street with an active role in where people peddle goods, massages and tickets, Hou Hai is an oasis in the city. Bicycles, rickshaws and boats of all types are used, but it's probably best to walk between shops and smallRestaurants and a circle around the lake, where you see some pedal fade along the lake.
In the early evening the best time for a drink before dinner is to go on the lake, things start to heat up shortly after the clock and 18 seats will be filled first. The squares are filled with astonishing speed. One moment, you have to look a conversation in the sunset light and enjoy the tranquil surroundings, then the next, you're there and ring the bell for dinner, the best solution isAttend the next trigger.
There were many bars and restaurants along the periphery of the species there are many possibilities, with or without seats first. The bars are small, probably about 50 square meters, and the seats offer more colorful and outdoor signs to attract your attention as you walk. And if that does not work, employees are embarrassed to invite global print and bonuses given to you as an incentive. With or without Budweiser, barsa dime a dozen, literally, on the other hand, some features that are only issues to find out everything that reminds separately in India or a European-style pub ... It 's a pub crawl to compete with the likes of London! Interestingly, and perhaps not surprisingly, is that the workload is not very high. There really is not the best time to visit in early May and I punched the wrong in a moment that is not completely empty. Maybe a glass 2-for-1Special?
Beyond the "beer" from the street to the circular portion opposite the main entrance of the lake there are side streets and alleys of shops, the house specialty, producing everything from ceramics to folk arrangements. local suppliers offer impressive curious at prices below the nearby shops, sports and more from traditional Chinese costumes, key rings, wall hangings, etc., of beautiful crystal vases and jade NiceJewels. There are a lot of garbage to sift, but will take some time, and you will see a heritage treasure in hand, to close. After sunset, when Hou You really shines with the dazzling lights of the lake, where you can submit the right side of the image lit very romantic.
Everything happens in a zoo? Apparently Sun Zoo Beijing is obviously to see the highlights of the area and always a winner with children. Between 2 and 3 RingThe big draw here is the panda, is an attraction to the park and in every possible part of the promotional material. I wish I had secured my tickets. But the real trick is the devils long enough to make the set of candidates for fashion photographers watched a position of power. The zoo offers a pleasant and relaxed and attractive enough to fill the afternoon.
After paying a fee of 20 yuan admission pass, a beautiful environment in whichgreat navigation stations directly on your way - and it is a choice of several. To see the panda park, just follow the masses ... and leave your camera in hand. No time to play a preview screen with all the gadgets have to be ready with their finger on the trigger, the two pandas. Have been exposed a bit 'and supported their "cave", just long enough to turn around and disappear instantly. It 's interesting to note how much of aattract people from home and abroad ... it is likely that many pandas and alien residents in the immediate vicinity, but should not be discussed at the cute bears and if you happen to lose a point of view, there are many replicas of hugs that inhabit the many area gift shops.
to make any real comparison, but knowing his reputation, I would say that the Beijing Zoo has proposed such a thing as the San Diego Zoo, and more local which is not eventhe best in the region. But visitors will find the usual standard fare, going up one side of the pool of amphibians, a park and a tiger swimming otter. A highlight was the visit elephants, who will receive five yuan, you have access to a special up close and personal, and for five more, you get a bunch of stems to feed the friendly animals, such as curling their trunks and stuff their throats. Giraffe managed in a similar manner, in which he leaned to the eyeConsumption level, and everything else that is set before them. I was trying to feed the elephant is my lunch, but the porter shook his head hard, due to heavy monster can not have the stomach for Chinese dumplings.
Similar to a nice and quiet, the Temple of Heaven in Tiantan Park, only in the middle of the third ring road, is another attraction worth. Near the Beijing Amusement Park and the Museum of Natural History - one of my first decisionsuntil I got to work on Monday museums are not - could not have carved a place far more evocative of Hollywood movies. The location is simply majestic. From the entrance of the park, you are greeted by this huge temple pagoda, which dominates a triangular shape, with three levels with a golden crown.
In Tiantan Park is one of those old marvel at the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, built in 1420 and decorated with gold and purple flowing, Circular Mound Altar, aa symbolic place of worship as the sky terrace, the Imperial Vault of Heaven, a solid wood construction with blue tiled roof with a golden ball, the hall of fasting, a large building surrounded by a double bank and ditch known crowned, and the Echo Wall, a circular mound altar, which was the symbol of a service terrace.
development of the park is very large and there are a roadmap to follow, as more than once I found myself walking and I was wondering ifthere before. The presentation of the Tiantan Park has a semicircular shape, the northern part of the outer wall surrounding the forms, while the south is square, the symbol of the ancient belief that heaven is round and the earth is square. In the center is a tourist information center, which of course was lost after ... not half as bad lost all this natural beauty. It is a valuable experience, only the center ofand all eyes in wonder to the country in the early 15th century during the reign of the Ming Dynasty came. There is nothing, dass
The Temple of Heaven reflects the sophisticated architecture of the period and is a perfectly preserved example of ancient tradition, not far from the reality of city workers. This is probably not the most exciting day in the park for children, but from what I've seen, there are many people close to launching aFrisbee changed, or wrapped groups of tourists that make sounds crazy, in order to keep to stay part-time.
Beijing can not offer very fast, the level of entertainment and international recognition as Shanghai, but it is certainly an excellent starting point for a true taste of Chinese tradition. Also interesting is the passage in each interval of one year and a half, I have most of the new building is taking off, restructuring, major intersections, and who knows whatmore ... these are things that are easy to detect with the naked eye. It is unclear how the city can and should, as he prepares for the 2008 Olympics, the last jewel in the crown for the recognition of the unprecedented progress in the country in recent years and Beijing, particularly in the Chinese capital as a real one world-class destination to legitimize.
As in Beijing
