/BEIJING.
This Beijing trip is unforgettable. Not only because of the delayed flight but also because of the hotels. I think this trip is so good since all the hotels we stayed in are 5 star hotels. How good can that be?
On the 2nd night, we stayed in an apartment instead since the hotel had no more average rooms. The apartment was 'WOW'. 2 bedrooms,1 kitchen, 1 living room, 2 bathrooms. And we had TWO APARTMENTS OF THIS. Each room had a king size bed. So we decided to just use 1 apartment and give the other apartment back. The breakfast given were nice too. it's nice cause they had my favourite noodles =x Except the breakfast given by the hotel in Chengde. But chengde's hotel was only 3 star, so it's expected. Other than that, i think all the meals we had were alright. --------------------------------------------------- The second day, we went to the forbidden city. It's HUGE. We walked for approximately 3 hours just to get out of the place from the entrance to the exit. Yes, that big. Imagine the wind blowing at you + the cold + walking for 3 hours. Because it was only the 2nd day, we were not used to the low temperature so all of us found it extremely cold. The 3rd day we went to The Great Wall. Speaking of it, i climbed like 20 steps and realised my sister was still down below. 1 step was much higher than the 1 step you see everyday in Singapore. So 20 steps is very high already. I looked down, and boy, SO HIGH! The steps were also very steep. Super dangerous. Soon, my sister reached my place and i decided to go back down. At this moment, there were many people climbing up, using the handles at the sides. Of course i needed the handle too, if not someone just pushes me, i'll fall. Thus, we sat down in on the steps in the middle. haha. While waiting for the handles to be empty of people holding it, we took photos. HAHA. Will update on the other days next time! tata! |
