*Warning: Extremely long post
Some Interesting pictures taken during the trip
Attempting to blow "smoke" since its very very cold, but failed to capture on photo =(
It was taken on the first day and the highest temperature is -7 degrees Celsius
A nice view on the Beijing road
Check out the snow!!
The emperor's tomb, I forgot whose. Anyway, its still very grand.
Its going to be a long way up! But i'm not giving up!
Its high, its steep, its scary, its cold, its windy!! Spot my "unhappy" face, lol!
Forbidden City Main hall
Emperor's throne, as seen on TV
An extremely long food street on beijing. Its so long, I can't see the end!
Beijing famous landmark: 天坛. A place where the emperor prays to heaven.
World's second 7 star hotel, its shaped like a dragon, and built to house important guest during the olympics.
Beijing's famous bird nest stadium! Too bad its not open for visitors to go in.
Beijing famous water cube! Its BIG!
Taken at ChengDe, this large river is frozen and people are walking on it to cross to the other side.
Taken at ChengDe Summer Palace. Beneath the snow on the ground is actually a river! The weather is so freezing cold that it turned the whole river into ice, not just the surface!
"Ice Skating" Metal sticks and wooden planks is the way to go!
Beijing's 世貿天階. Its unique extra large screen is like half a football field big!! Btw, the person next to me is our 導遊, and he's 1.86m tall!
This photo was taken in 天津. Its covered in heavy snow too!!
Beijing national theater "鳥蛋". It took 10 years to build and on water!
Overall, it was quite fun, although the weather is freezing, and I go back to the hotel with frozen toes everyday... There are many things to buy there, almost everything you can find in china. The culture and history of Beijing is very interesting as well, thousands of years of history!
Lastly, I would like to say: I still love Singapore best! =)
