Trip to China - 15 of September - 5 of November of 2006
Stores:
At the beginning of October, they put in the stores the posters of “New Arriavals”, reason why the season of reductions will arrive until half-full principles or from September.
PEKING
Airport of Peking:
It is a new airport. It is very easy. It has several offices of currency exchange in the hall where the suitcases take shelter.
The counter that sells tickets them buses to go to the center is leaving the international terminal by the door nº 9 (in front of the exit). They perfectly have the indicated Routes in a poster behind the counter. The buses are behind the counter. They leave each 15 min. All the buses cost 16 CYN. Routes (although there is more, but these are the two that go to the center):
• Route To or nº 1 (he is the same), that finishes in the International Hotel.
• Route B or nº 2 (he is the same), finishes in the Aviation Building - 178 Nº D4, of LP.
From the Aviation Building to the inn of Youth Officers' Club of Revolutionary Armed Forces East, there are 20 - 25 minutes walking, it is close and it is easy. In taxi 1 or two costs Euros.
Officers' Club of Revolutionary Armed Forces East International Youth Hostel
It has two buildings. One new one where they are the double rooms or triple and where it is the reception, a restaurant and a bar, and soon another old building where they are the communitarian rooms and a patio tuna with 6 tables to have breakfast or to have dinner and another restaurant under ceiling. The hotel is to 15 - 20 minutes walking of the place of Tianamen. The site is very good. Good price. It is a very pleasant site. A small store and an office of very efficient tourism have a change office where they reserve tickets to you of train by 2 € of commission, or resevas of inns of youth.
The district in which it is a Chinese typical Hutong. In that street there are many restaurants and stores. In rest of that street he is very cheap to eat and to have breakfast. Also in that it pierces has and closely together of the inn there are two very cheap laundries.
Both or three restaurants of the inn are very good, something more expensive than the good restaurants of that street but. www.fareastyh.com/
The Congress (the great hall the town)
It is interesting although nonessential. It has great halls.
The temple of the sky.
Abierto until the 6 of afternoon, it is very tuna. Pleasant to take a walk. A taxi from the place of Tianamen costs 10 CYN. To spend at least 3 hours to him.
Prohibited city.
It has for 5 or 6 hours. The ideal is to arrive after having breakfast to 8.30 that it is when they abren and at least people have, and to have lunch in there in the restaurant outdoors (Fast Food), in which a plate combined by 50 CYN + 15 of the drink can be eaten., and to leave after having lunch. They have another small restaurant.
They have an audio guide by 40 CYN. Inside there are banks to sit down, toilets.
The complex is a little lioso, because he is very great, has many patios, buildings,…
It has the Museum of the treasure that can be seen by 10 CYN, one buys the entrance in the door of the museum, is worth the trouble, it has pretty things, very very interesting. Here I saw the egg orange and golden on the inside, and the precious stone trees…
Cultural palace of the Workers.
It was of reforms so that I only saw by outside. It seems interesting. Grandísimo has a garden to his around.
Palace of summer.
He is a little moved away the center. It is necessary to take the meter until the shutdown of Xizhimen, and to take the train of neighborhoods there (they leave continuously) until Wudaokou and to take a taxi there until the Palace of Summer, that is a passage of about 10 minutes in taxi. There is a plane of the Palace and the gardens. Tuna of Peking along with the Prohibited City is the palace more. It has to spend all a morning and leaves from afternoon, because it has grandísimos gardens. To try to avoid Sundays because many Chinese go. There is a cheap restaurant of soups of on.
The Great China Wall.
All the inns and hotels offer this route. There are two zones to where it is possible to be gone to see the great wall:
- Option A. Is to go to the zone of Badalín. It is the tourist zone par excellence. It is to one hour approximately of Peking. There are local buses that go until there. To see p 147 of Lp.
- Option B. Is to go to the zone of Simatai. It is a zone rather less tourist. www.simatai-greatwall.net. There are two options: or To make the route between Simatai - Jin Shan Ling (or something similar), that is about 10 kilometers walking by the great wall. From early in the morning until after having lunch. Not to take weight, because they sell fresh water continuously and something of food and when arriving in the end are restaurtantes. When leaving the great wall and way of the parking where they are the buses there is a tirolina that happens through the stop of a lake, by 3 €. Simatai is to 2 - 2.30 hrs. in bus of Peking (120 kilometers). Of the wall that they report to the two cities is recovered and the central part is original. He is very interesting and it has pretty views.
or To only make Simatai. This is very boring since they leave you there and only you move a little by the great wall, but you cannot do ungran route by the wall because they leave you very just a short time. He is something similar to which they do in Badalín, but the difference is here that there is little people.
