Beijing
Long story short, i spend 8 days in Beijing during the 1 week deepavali break. so here's the highlights of my days there :)
day 1. we visited this palace, where some Emperor used to live. I didn't really understand the history cuz the tour guide was mostly talking in Mandarin, but i got the gist. I think.
day 2. Visited the Great Wall of China. :D the place I've wanted to go since i was a kid and saw Mulan.
Looks really high up right? managed to climb all the way up to the tiny tower on top of my pic!
day 3. We were brought to eat the famous Roast Duck of Beijing. Was pretty awesome :D
day 4. Went to sit the trishaw :) and bought a new winter coat!
day 5, went to this french styled town, and walked around the heavenly park.(the place the royal family spends summer) and it was freakinnn cold!!!
day 6, went to the Beijing Zoo, to see MR.PANDA! :D shoooo cute!!! but most of them were asleep cuz its winter :(
day 7, we went to the Bird Nest, and the Olympic Stadium. :) was really big and grand, but we weren't allowed to go inside, so abit disappointing :(
day 8: spent shopping xD so not much pictures.
