We had our first taste of "Life in Beijing".
Transporting around in a cab.
Bicycles everywhere!
I have never spoken so much HuaYu in my entire life!
Taxi Drivers, Shopkeepers, Rubbish Collectors, Restaurant Owners!
46 days to go!
We managed to visit the following attractions:
- Wang Fu Jing Street
It is just walking distance from our hotel, about 5 minutes also.
You can find souvenirs, traditional chinese masks, chinese fans, chopsticks, and antique paintings.
Road signboards - Do you see? Raffles Beijing?
The start of Wang Fu Jing Street
typical sight
in the midst of snack stores, gifts and ornaments
guess what's on the menu? MAGGOTS and COCKROACHES. yucks!
The Magnificent Summer Palace
From RH Beijing to Summer Palace took roughly 40 mins by cab, costing abt 53 RMB
Entrance Fee to Summer Palace cost: 30 RMB - SGD$6.
Yi He Yuan - Welcome to Summer Palace
Lakeside
Stairways to Heaven
With my first attempt to capture the shot, Tadaa "Farris Loves China!"
With the fifth attempt of farris to capture this shot, my concern was "please tube don't drop!"
Such a beauty, i could stare at this sight all day.
The paranoma view from the top
The weather was so hot and sunny. Catching our breathes under the shade!
Attempting to Taichi at the gardens, just like the movies!
I made Farris do it too!
Empress Dowager Cixi "Marble Boat"
We are Happy cos we found the marble boat after a LONG WALK!
All in awe
Romantic row along the river
Mission Accomplished - Exit !
After Summer Palace, we took a short 10 mins taxi ride to:
CCTV TOWER @ 233metres high
Entrance Fee: 50 RMB
- Olympic hall at 225 metres high Level 19.
- The view from the top was amazing, but sadly my camera died on me so all pics are on my hp and unable to transfer.
Time to bathe,
working early in the morning tomorrow!
Wish me luck!
