Beijing

I was in Beijing with my family on a tour. It was nice, except for the weather. We were told the temperature will be similar as in Malaysia but turned out to be, it wasn't. It was end of spring to early summer but it was unbelievably cold. We weren't prepared.

However, the tour itself was great. 23 of us, from all parts of Malaysia including a pair from UK, had wonderful moments touring round Beijing. Aha yes, the journey from KL-Beijing took approximately 6 hours beginning 1230 am by Malaysia Airlines Airbus. It was not pleasant tho, we could hardly sleep cause the stewards and stewardess kept on 'Excuse me miss, would u like to have coffee, tea or juice?' , 'Excuse me miss, sandwich?' , 'Excuse me miss, would you like rice with lemon chicken or omelette with potatoes?' and a hell lot more of Excuse Me, Misssssss..

Upon arrival, we headed straight for the tour. First destination was Summer Palace. It was cool, but i was dizzy. Like i said, we did not have good sleep on flight. Lunch was okay, we had 10 meals served in front of us. Chinese tea was all that is for us to drink during the entire trip. Health tips, drinking chinese tea will make you look much younger, but the process will not be until few years, in other words, you have to consume chinese tea before and after every meal everyday. Yea.

Beijing airport. Dusty haze now. It was bad.

Summer Palace. It was cold although sunny. Our almost 24 hours faces since 26th May from Kuching.

Behind is the KunMing Lake, impressively men made

Second day. Had photos of our amazing apartment hotel room, later. So, this is the lobby of Jinqiao Apartment Hotel

The room. It was fabulous, complete with Internet connection, washing machine, stove, oven and everything else that completes as a home.

Day after was the moment we waited for, because the destination was The Great Wall of China. I'll let the photos tell the story.

Jade House. Some horse statue at the restaurant with big souvenir shops inside.

Crystal House before Great Wall.

Let's take a break for now. I know, i know i haven't posted the pictures of Great Wall yet. Don't worry, will be up next. Stay tuned.
