Will be in Beijing 3/4 days

[Dainan]

Hi trisha! I am glad to help you and I want to know when will you come to Beijing?

I am trying to solve your problems.

1) The opening hours of Summer Palace is between 6:30 to 18:00, you can refer to this link: http://www.summerpalace-china.com/en/time.html

and Forbidden City is open until 16:30.

2) As for the Xi Yang Yang DVD, it is also a TV series and it is 591 episodes now. You can see the whole season on line for free. I recommend you this: http://video.baidu.com/v?ct=301989888&rn=20&pn=0&db=0&s=8&word=%CF%B2%D1%F2%D1%F2%D3%EB%BB%D2%CC%AB%C0%C7&fr=ala0 And it is the official website of Xi Yang Yang: http://us.22dm.com/ .

3) Wangfujing and Xidan is very close. It is about 3 km. So you can just go there on foot . If you take a taxi, it will cost about 10 yuan. You can also go by the metro—Line 1, and it only costs 2 yuan for each person.

4) I do not quite understand the Chinese Breeze books, and I checked the Wangfujing Book Store online and could not find the book. But I found some on line. So you can chat with me more through, maybe MSN, or email.

5) Haha! I am also a book-nuts! You can tell me what kind of book you want and I will try my best to help you.

6) you can say “cartoon” in Chinese: 卡通片( Ka Tong Pian) or 动画片 (Dong Hua Pian). Since most cartoon in China are for kids, so you will not misunderstand.

And I am not so busy these days, hope I can help you by my best.

4) I do not quite understand the Chinese Breeze books, and I checked the Wangfujing Book Store online and could not find the book.

Except the following 4 books, currently other 8 books in the Chinese Breeze series are all available in Wangfujing bookstore:

我家的大雁飞走了

向左向右

错，错，错

我一定要找到她

When you checked online, don’t use the name of “汉语风”, but use the detailed name, such as “妈妈和儿子”, “出事以后”, etc.
