Beware of fake Taxi Drivers in Beijing tour spots

by smmurshid

I & my family went to Beijing last year and did the same trip, a day tour to Badaling via Ming tomb to see the grate wall. Better to go by any recognized tour company in a group with a guide. It is safe and comfortable. I would not suggest private Taxi if it is not a government one. There are Taxi drivers just putting the meter on top of the taxi pretending they are regular taxi driver. But they are not, and will deceive you charging high. We once took such a taxi.I observed the meter was running fast. The reading became 80 while it should have been 50. The Driver dropped us on a traffic signal, a little away from our destination. I gave him a 100 RMB note. He took it and said "I don't have change" I said I have only 60 but he was demanding 80. Finally he said "ok give me 60 no problem" and returned me the 100 RMB note. After returning hotel when I gave that 100 RMB to the counter they...

Huge vats at Forbidden City

by victorwkf

When you are inside the Forbidden City, you will see many huge copper vats like those shown in the photos. The vats are actually for fire fighting during the ancient times. They were filled with water so when there was a fire, water would be readily available (in a way, these are the ancient version of our modern fire hydrants).

Changing of Guards

by victorwkf

I managed to catch the changing of guards when I was at the Forbidden City in April 2008. After that, those guards who were off-duty had a game of basketball outside the Forbidden City in their uniforms (see photos). Very interesting indeed :)

Traditional Architecture

by victorwkf

When it comes to traditional architecture, China is perhaps one of the best in the world in view of its long and grand history. This can be truely felt at Beijing city since it is the capital city of China for many years now. When you visit the various historical attractions, you will find that the traditional architecture is very detailed and impressive, and each have its own meaning, background and story to tell (especially carvings of mythical creatures such as dragon, phoenix, unicorn and other creatures in Chinese folklore). Not forgetting, most of the ancient monuments at Beijing are very huge and will take many hours if you wish to cover every corner.

Be Safe Oatmeal

by sugarpuff

For my birthday this year (Jan 2007), my boyfriend Charles bought me the most adorable American Cocker Spaniel. We called him Oatmeal and he was absolutely wonderful as many of you have already agreed on. Unfortunately coming up to two weeks ago he was stolen from outside a shop that Charles had popped into for two minutes. He was tied up outside to a post and was taken by somebody by the time Charles came back out. I was distraught and still am and cannot believe that someone would do that. And then I remembered that I live in China, where pet marketing and selling is rife and if someone can get a dog as beautiful as mine to sell onto to someone else they will at no thought to the people from who they are stealing it from. I look back at all my photos of him and smile at the great times, laugh at the funny times and cry all of the time. I just hope he has gone to a good home and is safe...

Mode of communication

by caprina

One thing about Beijing is you must be prepared for difficulty communicating with the local as from my experience most of them (except the one you find at tourist spot) cannot speak english. It is difficult for you to buy something from the street peddlers, since you must bargain to get the cheapest price. Recommended for you to bring a calculator and just show them the numbers rather than trying to communicate using sign language.

Art & craft in Beijing

by victorwkf

When you are in Beijing, it is worth checking out the famous art & craft here, especially the jade, silk, porcelain etc. However, it is suggest that you buy these valuable items from reputable stores to assure the good quality, as there are many shops which may not sell you the real stuff or sell you sub-standard products. If you like antiques, you can visit the Panjiayuan Market which sells a lot of so-called antiques but they are most likely not the real expensive ones.

Local people relaxing at Temple of Heaven park

by victorwkf

When you visit the Temple of Heaven, you will see many local people relaxing at the entrance and park area. Some of them will practice dances, taichi etc while others will practice their calligraghy skills by writing Chinese calligraphy on the cement ground using water so that it will not vandalise the place.

Language problems?

by victorwkf

English is more and more fequently spoken and written, so there is less of a language problem in Beijing and it will get better with the coming of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. In fact if you go around the tourist attractions, most of the signatures have English language so it is really quite easy to move around Beijing and it surroundings.
