Beijing II

The word says, you aint in China till you've been to The Great Wall. So, let's just go straight to it.

First view we had upon stepping out the bus. It was beautiful.

Group photo before climbing The Great Wall.

Panting while ascending The Great Wall. First stop, sempat posing. Jeez, i didnt expect for it to be so challenging!

With cute little kiddo, Fasha Farihin from KL.

Amazing sight from top.

I was awarded The Great Wall certificate and a card certifying i've climbed this one 7 wonders of the world. Jangan jeles ok.

Tian' an Men Square

Striking a pose inside Forbidden City.

Another one. It was a long walk, 7-8km to finish up the entire Forbidden City.

Its huge area.

erm, the Hall of Preserved Harmony.

Behind us is the Emperor's concubines' rooms. 9,999 in total. Emperor's got a hell lot of taste! Not to mention high sex drive! Phew..

Bird's Nest


Near Bird's Nest. You know, the Olympic stadium. Just admiring the beauty of flowers around.

There, the Bird's Nest as they named it.

Hard Rock Cafe


Our last day. Just a brief stop at Hard Rock's.

We
had few more stops after Hard Rock, but im just slightly lazy to post them up, plus i think i've posted enough photos for you my beloved readers to view.

Shopping
was crazy. I got myself lots of stuff and i must say i was a good bargainer. Grabbed few pairs of shoes, jades bracelets and necklace, crystal pendant, earrings, Beijing t-shirts and caps, bags, some medicated heated packs, tea, Hard Rock's T-shirts, 32GB thumb drives RMB50 for 2, and the most expensive item i bought (which i had to use my credit card) was the Silk quilt with cover, cost me RMB1380, equal to RM700 somewhat. I could not resist it okay.

O yea,
i shopped a bit for Dia yang Kechomelan too. Had help from Auntie Ros and Uncle Maulud (an elderly couple with the tour) to do the bargaining. I hope you will like the gifts i got for you sayang. Missing you tho, hope to see you in a week's time ok..Oppsss..sorry, diverted there.

We ended the day after 10pm. Everyone was tired and needed to get back to our hotel rooms to pack for next day's early departure back to Malaysia. In all, the trip was magnificent and spectacular. I love Beijing.
