Tour Companies
by eastrunner
Hello,
I’m trying to organize a 1 week tour of Beijing for my parents who live in Sri Lanka.
A Tour that includes hotel (3* +), transport and itinerary for excursions in and around Beijing.
Can you please recommend some tour companies. Thanks
ER

Hello ER,
Gogle proposes some interesting sites of Chinese tour companies such as:
http://chinatour.net/beijing-tour-hotel-packages.html
http://www.greatwalladventure.com/ChinaPackageTour/index.html
http://www.chinatour360.com/beijing/package/
http://www.elong.net/
I already purchased domestic flight tickets online from Great Wall Adventure and eLong.net, communication with this rather large company worked well.

We booked tours through the hotel, which proved quite affordable and convenient ;-)

We hired a private driver - Alvin - he picked us up in an air condioned/heater 4 door sedan - comfortable and clean. Alvin took us where we wanted to go and was full of knowledge. We didn't have to cram to listen to him as he was ours exclusively to tell us all he knew and we could ask as many questions as we liked.
He took us to the Great Wall of China and spent the entire day with us even taking us to a dumpling restaurant which was delicious. He arranged tickets to the Acrobat Show on one night and also to the Kung Fu Show - a must do.
You can contact Alvin Jiang at alvinbenton@yahoo.com
Cost depends on how long you require his services, where you want to go etc. but based on 3 people to and from the Great Wall - Mutianyu section, the dumpling restaurant and the acrobat show - he picked us up around 8am and we finished at 10pm!!! for approximately 750RMBs in April 2010.
He is a great guy with an awesome personality.

Travel Tips for Beijing
Learning more about Chinese people (1)
by ntm2322
If in your trips (either in a holiday trip or in a business trip) you need to have closer contacts with Chinese people, there are a few points you should keep in mind:
- Drinking is a demonstration of hospitality and sincerity. No matter what, you must drink, especially if you are doing business. The Chinese are very sensitive and pay a great deal to friendship, thus giving face is tremendous important.
- Don’t give your Chinese friend a clock or a pair of shoes as a present (gift).
- Eight is a good number in south of China and four is not a lucky number.
- Chinese don't like to open gifts or presents in front of you, they will do it in private.
- Children are treasured in China and a good topic to start a friendship. Start with your own kids or your friend's kids.
- A profound respect to the elders is a great Chinese virtue that doesn't mean the same in western countries.
Beijing Tip
by eho
There is something special about the architecture in this part of the Temple of Heaven. I have forgotten exactly what it is, I think that you can hear special echoes by making some sounds (like this woman clapping her hands).
Must Take!
by geekgrrl
If you are flying within China, there is a weight restriction of 20 kilos per person for checked luggage. You can carry up to 150 kilos, but you will be charged extra (not a lot) for the overage. Kleenex and anti-bacterial wipes. For restroom use. A must take! Our family doctor also gave us Rx's for Lomotil and Cipro in case we contracted a stomach bug. We never did, but it was comforting to have along. Remember to take enough memory cards for your digital camera. I ended up taking over 1000 photos in 18 days!
Zhongshan Park
by cpim2004
Located on the west side of the Forbidden City, was the site of the former Altar of Land and Grain. In memory of Dr Sun Zhongshan, the great chinese revolutionary forerunner, it is changed to his name.
Now it is the public garden, I think it is one part of the Forbidden City, it is the cheap way to see it, entry fee only rmb 3.
Another spotlight, there is the main place for chinese and western cencert in the cencert hall.
Opening time: 6:30-20:30
Transport:
Bus No.1, 4, 5, 10, 37 or 120 to Zhongshan Park.
Subway: Line 1 -- Get off at Tian'anmen West.
Tel: 86-10-6605-5431.

first thing: picking up a "That's Beijing" is probably the best decision you'll ever make with respect to nightlife/entertainment. they have listings for every bar and club (not to mention restaurants, museums, etc.) and short descriptions of each venue to boot. you can usually find "that's" at most major hotels and coffee shops.
that being said, i've had far too many unforgettable nightlife experiences to begin lifting them here in any systematic fashion, but i will list a few must-sees.
if you're looking to just get down with reckless abandon, the chaoyang district's greater sanlitun area features a whole host of bars like poacher's inn (hard to find), vic's & mix (both by the worker's stadium, and ***... well there's a bundle of them, but the ones i listed won't disappoint. the wudaokou area was starting to blow up as well last time i was in beijing, so check that out too.
for those of you who aren't specifically looking to get your freak on, beijing offers a fine blend of laid-back pubs, a fairly vibrant local music scene (expat and chinese), and various other really cool joints to just sit back and relax and wet your whistle.
really, just pick up a that's beijing and most of your questions should be answered for you. they describe these joints better than i ever could...
