Beijing China Travel Tips

Snowing Scenery in Tiananmen Square

December 12 , 2012 | Author : Dorothy

According to the weather report, Wednesday is an ordinary day. Got up in early morning, I found it was snowing but it would not stop the journey to the museums in Beijing with my colleague - Shintia, and on the contrary, the snowy day made for the museum tour to know the other sides of Beijing.

When we arrived at Tiananmen Square by Subway Line 1, it snowed heavier and all square was covered by the white dress. Because of the snow, the transportation is not very well, and the traffic wardens still standing in the heavy snow and directed the traffic carefully. Standing before the National Museum of China, we enjoyed the Tiananmen Gate Tower from distance. It stands with the flowing pieces of snow, through the fuzzy distance, it seemed like the man was receiving the baptism in the white world and enjoy its baptism resolutely. The red flags still fly in air and showing their beauties to snow which is dance by their small bodies. Even in such day, the symbolized buildings all stand straight and witness the past time.

Tiananmen Square in White Snow

I considered that maybe rare people would visit this square in such snowy day, but the fact moved me deeply. Many travelers stay there took pictures to records the beautiful time in Tiananmen Square, they use their enthusiasm melted the cold temperature and snow. Casually, a person, jumped into my scene with an epoptic dress, who was cleaning the snow on the ground in order to protect the safety of tourists. All others were enjoying this exciting weather and play happily in this square, just the men who were clearing snow kept their posture and worked carefully. Every day, we need people like them to make the society more peace and harmony no matter rainy or snowy.

Discordantly, people in square always advise travelers to take pictures and add commercial aims into such harmony scene. Maybe someone needs their service, but what they do disturbed this peace picture. It is just the thought before we entering the theme. But it is really the expression of my emotion.

It is the most intellectual choice I made this year. During holiday, I booked a 3 days Beijing tour package with hotel online to help me save various troubles and time. The fact proved that it is a whelming tour.

First day, I set up in Beijing Capital International Airport and met the tour guide who is the tour guide accompanied with me during the 3 days. The double-way airport transfer service is included in the tour price, so it is also a cost effective tour. I have a short rest and clean in hotel, and the guide picked me up in the evening to enjoy the Chinese Kungfu show which has been popular all over the world. I want to visit it personally instead of watching movies. Performed by a group of Buddhists who trained in a Kungfu school in China explained by the guide, this Kungfu show is not really wonderful as in movies, adds more elements of performing. In fact, it is just a perform show.

Badaling Mountain Scenery

What I expected happened in second day to visit the Badaling Great Wall and Summer Palace. The name of Badaling Great Wall has famous all over the world, so I look forward to enjoying its real features. It is said that the Great Wall is only one human project can be seen on moon. When I took cable car to the mountain, I believe it is true. Like a dragon lies on the mountain curve depends on the terrain of mountain. Because of its name, Badaling Great Wall is crowded and lively, but easy to climb to top. Breathtaking views and incredible beautiful nature attract me deeply and impressively. Only here you may come to understanding that world history and culture started here. It is said that the Great Wall at Badaling is the best preserved section of the Great Wall and the first section opened to public. If you want to avoid the crowded, you can visit it in weekdays not weekend or holiday.

Bronze Ox in Summer Palace

Back to center of Beijing, we continued to visit the Summer Palace which is the well preserved and largest imperial garden in China. Such huge garden with various beauties, it is really the garden for royal. And now it becomes an ordinary garden for people who can take exercises here in the morning explained by the guide. And it is said that the Summer Palace is the most beautiful in summer with many lotuses.

However, I would visit the other attractions of Beijing in center, but today is worth to bear in mind.
