My Beijing Trip

I went to Beijing for a short trip recently.
It was my second visit. The first visit was due to an exchange program with a local school in Beijing in Nov 2005.

I must say that I am impressed with the transformation of Beijing.
The people are able to converse in English and the street names are in both English and Chinese, very visitor-friendly.


The Forbidden City


A Glimpse of the Great Wall (Badaling)

Even though this is my second visit and I see the same places twice, I am still awed by its rich history and beautiful scenery. Especially The Great Wall at Badaling and The Forbidden City. Other beuatiful places are The Ming Tombs (Shi San Ling Mu)and the Lama Temple (Yong He Gong). If you like to shop, you can always go to Wang Fu Jing and Xi Dan. They are all located near the MRT stations.
