Bei Jing Trip

UPDATED.
Yes i was away in BeiJing from 19th-24th June :)
More pictures up on FB!

DAY 1
Checking into the hotel in the evening after meeting Dad at BJ's airport.After we've put our stuffs at the hotel, we went out for a walk around our hotel.Beautiful buildings against the sunset.Dinner at some restaurant that is famous for their Ja Jiang Mian, which apparantly doesn't suit our taste as it was very salty, and there were too much vegetables!DAY 2- Olympic's Bird Nest and Water Cube.
Breakfast at some local place that the taxi driver brought us to. The place was so small and a lil dirty but the food was good. This stall is famous around that district.We had to wait so long under the damn hot sun before we can get into the area as there was some table tennis event going on.Finally after waiting we got to go in!
The train station that was so big and clean and beautifully decorated. BJ is much cleaner compared to the last time i was there.DAY 3- Tian An Men I love the watch museum the most! The other places inside is so boring, all ancient buildings look the same to me.Their newly built arts building. Something like SG's esplanade.DAY 4- Chang Cheng

We took the sky lift up, and continue to climb to the top. And then took something like the sentosa's luge down to the starting point.
The scenary was really amazing and the sunny day made it even better for phototaking.
Comparing to the other part Ba Da Ling, where it's a more common tourist spot, this place has lesser people, which is good because we need not squeeze with other ppl while climbing or when we're taking pictures. Brother climbed to the most top part and me mum and dad stayed at a point to wait for him. I didn't go up with him partly because i was not feeling well. Anyway that's not the main point, the main point is that brother climbed the super steep and never ending flight of stairs haha.The luge that we took haha and we enjoyed it alot! And i think this is better than the one at sentosa because it's way faster and longer haha.DAY 5
Their market which is surpriseingly cleaner than the ones in sg.

After that we went to see their olden days kind of houses. That area has a mix of ancient and modern buildings because of the backpackers inn over there. So to cater for the backpackers which are mainly the westerners, there are alot of cafe and pubs over there.
Dinner at the famous restaurant for kao ya (roasted duck) with dad's colleague.DAY 6- Back to SG.
We checked out at noon and then head down to the airport as our flight was in the evening.
Dad sent us to the airport and then he went off for his business trip.

Signing out (:
