Anyway, that said ... my trip almost covered every worthy visited place in Beijing. So, let's start with some pictures ... Mind you I did not upload the entire hundreds of snap shot. Well, I am a cam whore... so here's a few good ones :
Arriving at the Temple of Heaven
Then, some random street pics
National stadium - Birdnest ... and the Aquatic Arena - Bubble hut :P
Chang Ling tomb, visiting the late Emperor Yong Le ... big lo his kubur.
Pillars are made of singular tree, cannot be burnt due to the wood type. Apparently, wood takes 700 hundred of years to grow.
Gate of hell. Not suppose to cross over, a common Chinese belief of leaving soul at the other side.
Some alley, perfect shooting point for model wannabe like me!
Great wall of China!!!
The wall of course is very long and have a few spots to start for the climb. Our tour choose "Ba Da Ling". Sounds like Petaling ... LOL
The fastest record ever to finish the entire wall, from the head to the tail ... is 2 months and 2 days, achieved by two british climbers. Salute!
TinNanMen and entering Forbidden City. Not that forbidden la ... with the amount of crowd galloping into the palace, would believe Mr Watch that soon the palace will sink into the ground.
I like this pic. I look good in it. So random hor ... haha
Lucky to have gotten a pic, without people in the scenery.
Then decided to go into smaller alleys to avoid the sheep instinct and crowd. My objective was to find for ancient toilet. Of course, many places are not allowed for visitation
But found the abandon project of crystal palace. The place was supposed to be filled up with water to showcase fishes. Imagine aquarium, in the size of that structure. China boleh!
Imperial garden
Outside
Then it was to ... Wang Jing Fu. Shopping! Sadly ... very exp!
I also went to Liu Li Chang (Antique street, but did not take any picture because was rushing ... as they were closing down the market).
The pictures below are from this cultural street ... but cannot remember the name. Damn! MC help help ... if you are reading :P
Bought most of my souvenirs at this street. Do visit for local designers inspiration too. There is a corner with smelly tofu too. Really stinking one lo
SUMMER PALACE - Must visit lo. According to trip advisor la. I like the place anyway, its like a palace with little town in it. Can you believe that a palace actually has a water way with streets next to it. Mini Venice like...
I cannot help but dine. Pricey but for the experience, worth it man!!!
The famous never ending long corridor walk
Some how, summer palace is more beautiful and laid back compared to the real palace -aka- forbidden city
The marble boat. Damn the emperor lo ... dunno why he need that also
Konon la mahu jadi model macam Chanel ad. Tak jadi
Quiet ... scary
Lama Temple. Got Guiness book of records - single tree carved buddha statue. No pictures allowed, so you gotta go see yourself la. Or google.
Love spring ... leaves getting greener
To end things. Beijing english is also very special.
1. Beware of slippery fall ... in beijing is known as:
2. Caution of steep stairways ... in beijing is known as:
There are more... but I laugh too loud each time, so have to escape the stares from the public thus at many times did not manage to capture the signage.
Well ... I wanna zzz le ... tomorrow flying off again.
