Beijing, Day Two

Author: Tom  |  Category: Life, Mobile

Day Two, went for a bus ride to the Great Wall. About an hour bus ride.

The bus ride cost RMB4.80. Very cheap! About

The wall is impressive. Though falling apart in some places, rebuilt in others, it’s still impressive!

After the wall, we went to a lake called ‘back yard’ in English. It’s just behind the forbidden city so feels like the emporers back yard.

It’s a fancy spot, bikes for hire, rickshaws to take you around too. Many bars and resturaunts with good look out over the lake.

Still have a feeling that beijing is very quiet.

Day three, off to the birds nest and temple of heaven.

Beijing, Day One.

Unusual Sightings:

Police officer at the airport on a segway, cruising along side me when im walking along the travelator.

Couples waltzing together on the side walk, in the freezing cold.

Crazy electric powered silent bikes!

A huge amount of the old city being destroyed, none of the old feeling left, except for the forbidden city.

======

Its cold here, very cold. Beijing seems to be a quiet city, apart from the forbidden city, it doesn’t really feel like any other.

A few pics from the first day:
