[#3] 17/6/2000-23/6/2000 Ah Qing was 14 yrs old
Well..i think i had waited for another trip for too long..haha! Hmm...we went to Beijing,Tian jin & Cheng de during the 7 days trip & we took SIA again...( didnt really enjoyed the journey when i was on my way back...something wrong with my ears...pain..sobbzzz but the salmon dinner was nice..whaha) First day went to see za ji performance @ a hall...their standard is ok..but i think there are a few more professional ones...(like from shenyang etc) Went to visit Gu Gong as well as Tian An Men square..really ren shan ren hai sia~ haha! met other fellow singaporeans too..u know ctc got many groups of aunties ..lolx! The sad thing abt tt day was we cannot enter the building where mao ze dong's embalmed body lies...haiz...it was closed for maintanance i think...ke xi ! Also saw rem min da hui tang...magnificant!
There were many parks in beijing lah..like bei hai gong yuan & the famous yu he yuan...very scenetic.....The ming dynasty wax museum was full of different sections showing different ming kings i think...
Mei shang guo chang cheng fei nai zi han! ya!!! must climb the great wall mah! haiz..my mum & I quite shi bai lah..becoz we were affected by the altitude of the great wall..started kenna running nose..nvm..sis and dad climbed really far...ok..i think they reached the 5th stop or what..haha! some foreigners were siao de...run down the stairs lor..ok lah they were confident they wont fall lah...ahha! but i think better dun try that out...once u fall ah dunno where u will land.
Tian tan was really a magnificant building...forgot abt the story behind it..haha!
took a 5 hrs bus ride to cheng de..a small city outside beijing ba..haha!
we were brought to this place where "huan zhu ge ge" was filmed at..also we visited da guan yuan...really shi qing hua yi ne~the most tedious thing on that day was to climb the xiao bu da la gong ( a tibetan temple ) dunno how many steps ah...250++? haiz...go china bo bian have to climb here and there u c...haha! anyway the real bu da la gong is in tibet ah..think much higher than the china one...u could view great sceneries when u reached the top of the temple..hoho!
Visted yong he gong...i think it was related to the qing emperor yong zheng? haha! anyway, qing buildings were quite special somehow lah..like at the entrance there was a "pai" saying the name of the building, with inscripts of the Qing language beside the chinese words.
I bought a chinese chess set @ tian jin..then also bought a set of chinese cha ju..whahaha! my sis and i even had a few rounds of wu zi qi with the tour guide richard..hoho! we win lah of coz! eh..tian jin's famous bao called gou bu li bao zi is not nice to eat ok...haha! u know..even dogs dun wan to eat the bao..nice meh? Tian jin's food was much better than beijing..coz they got fresh seafood...beijing's food was rather "terrible" damn oily and meaty..they hardly eat vegetables de..sobbzz! Had my stay in beijing international hotel, not bad lah...many singaporeans stayed there too...
Go china sure they will bring u to those tea house/shops where u can buy different kinds of tea lah..butta actually dun need to buy so much de..not that cheap also. Eh .. i remembered abt a meal called "huang di can" or the meal of the emperor..wah seh...many plates of chicken and eggs in different style...damn sianz..bei fang ren ate alot of meat..so bo bian lah.
Didnt eat much fish there...remembered i ate one which got a strong ni tu smell..alamak...fainted!
beijing's famous xiu shui jie had gone le lah...becoz the govt wants to revamp that area...it was near those embassys of other countries..saw singapore de...pink house..wahahah! Anyway that street was full of imitations lah..alot alot hor..and dun be surprised to see ang mohs k? haha!
u can also see the red army soldiers marching on the streets..think 45 degrees huh? wah seh very neat eh...kaoz!
the shopping centres there dun sell cheap stuff..i think now maybe more expensive..haha! I dun like the shou du airport also...very metallic and quiet..haha! ok it was new then lah..maybe now better liao...who knows?
the haiding area is famous also..becoz it is the home of many beijing's universities..haha! i got passed by Peking uni's entrance ah...haha! Anyway, can try to visit there too...
