I visited Beijing spontaneously. Once you know will be assigned to Seoul, I’m idly for a visa to enter China. Visa countries with the largest population of this seemed like sending a letter at the post office.
Why, there is the option of making the duration of the visa process. There are regular (4 days), 1 working day and express (completed on the same day). Since the passport must also stay at the Embassy of South Korea, I had to choose one-day visa is completed at a price that, oh dear, expensive.
Since spontaneous, I do not have time to do research via the Internet civilized lodging. As a result, the first night of my stay was a disaster. In the middle temperature of minus 10 degrees Celsius, the room I have no engine warmers. The only heated blanket that was either filled in what, it feels heavy but warm.
The bathroom was (which is used together with other hostel residents) is really not worth taking.
The only positive thing from the inn is its strategic location. I no longer want just any lodging reservations through the Internet without a survey and is not lured by cheap prices.
Beijing is the lucky number one tourist city in China, so I had no trouble looking for a new, more humane lodging nearby. After lodging the problem is complete, a list of places to visit in Beijing is very long.
Tourist sites in Beijing are located close together. And since the initial set foot in Beijing, I was immediately fascinated by the beauty of heritage buildings are neatly manicured.
From the inn is not worth it, just a ten minute walk to the Tian Tan (Temple of Heaven). This temple complex was built in 1406 and used by the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties prayed for good harvests.
The most prominent building of this complex is a hall for prayer that is built on three layers of marble floors and round the field beside it – which is also built of marble floors. The latter is known as the wall echoes.
Reportedly, if we stood in the midst, and said something, the sound will be heard until a sufficient distance away from the ring floor. Me and my friend had tried, but perhaps because many tourists come to try our efforts failed.
However, standing in the middle of the circular floor into unforgettable memories as seen on the left side of the sun was setting. While in front of the eyes, the ranks of fir trees are arranged neatly, and all around the old buildings is a typical Chinese enjoyed the beautiful scenery. No wonder if the Tian Tan enter UNESCO cultural heritage list.
Not far from the Tian Tan, there is a “pearl market” Hong Qiao. The title is the pearl market, but once there, guaranteed to instantly make the stomach churn. All kinds of goods sold here. Start a not branded until the asphalt (imitation with different levels of quality).
The prices are super cheap! Ranging from food, clothes, accessories, traditional medicines, the interior of the house to electronic goods. I suspect this is where the origin of the goods are often sold at the mall or a class ITC FO Ambassador.
I was crazy. During my eight days in Beijing, almost every other day me and a friend tried to always stop by here. There are always interesting to be purchased and collected.
