Guest da_zhuang Posted July 8, 2003 at 02:13 AM Report Posted July 8, 2003 at 02:13 AM hey everyone, it's me! (audible sound of backs turning away, people muttering under breaths)... I can't resist disputing a reccomendation from the Great Sage... I think te FC has to be entered from the SOUTH - that is what the thing is designed for, anyway - but that it's also true that seeing the view from Jingshan park first is highly reccomended. Indeed, that particular view makes a great end to anyone's First Day in Beijing, and an ensuing tour of Tiananmen Sq and the FC a great start to the Second one. Earlier this year I showed two friends around, and our schedule went like this: day one: Hutong walking, HoHai - Jingshan. Taxi ride round FC to Courtyard Gallery, walk round to Tiananmen. day two: Forbidden City (empty cos of SARS, fantastic) - Mao Mausoleum - Hutong walking from Qianmen to Tiantan - Tiantan. It made for a pretty damn great couple of days, if I say so myself... Quote
confucius Posted August 21, 2003 at 11:04 AM Report Posted August 21, 2003 at 11:04 AM My main man, da_zhuang! Hao jiu bu jian! How did I miss this post? You did very well with that 2 day Beijing tour. It looks like you proceeded south from the Forbidden City on your second day. What possibly led you to proceed in that direction, a little sparrow perhaps? You and I should stay in touch more often. You can leave messages for me here or at Thorn Tree. Cheers! Quote
