For my journey to Bejing started on middle of May 2011.We are so lucky get to Bejing and enjoy the nice weather .First we arrive Tianjin international airport then travel down to Bejing by fast train .We take a taxi from the train station to the hotel . The problem here is if u want to travel in Bejing better need to know how to speak a little bit of chinese word . Because the taxi drive will be more friendly if u can speak chinese and they are really happy to give u a hand.
Mostly the attraction that we need or we should to go and visit in Beijing such as the Great wall, the Tiananmen square, the Forbidden city, the Summer Palace, Birdnest National Stadium, the Temple of Heaven, the Ming tombs,Bejing Zoo to see the panda and the Hutongs ,and the Wang Fu Jing Food street .
For me , the 5 day 4 night trip is enough for me to see all the attraction. The first place that i visit is the Wang Fu Jing food street . Omg ... that is amazing and a lot of the food that we never have and never seen such as the fried scorpion, insects, BBQ bird ,and more can see in my video .....
My second place that i visited is the Mutianyu Great Wall .... my trip started 630 am with a tour car that we rent for this trip the driver come and drove us to our destination .we arrive the great wall around 7.15 am and have to wait for a while because the counter ticket not open yet and is no crowd in that time .We so lucky and took a lot of picture before the place start crowed . Me and my friend spend almost 4 hour to walk on the great wall and took picture we both really enjoy the sincnery.before back to the hotel we stopover at the bird nest stadium and the aquatic center.
The next trip is went to the temple of heaven and the summer palace .the trip take almost one day to walked and visit all the place . After that the next day we went to the tiananment square and the Forbidden city .Suggestion for who want to visit this two place is better to go early because the crowd will starting around 9am-12 p.m.After have a walk in the Forbidden city we took a cab over to the Hutong .Hutong in english is mean a small street.
For the food ,in Beijing the no 1 food u need to tried is the peking duck and the strange street food. Other thing i have remind to all the visitor is please take care for ur belonging when u in the train station or the place is crowded in Beijing .
