8 days in Beijing and Xi'an was awesomely fun. Althought during the journey there were few conflicts between our family members but overall i believed that we all had fun. :D However a pity is that we did not see any snow :( Supposedly our trip to Beijing and Xi'an was to see snow. But there isn't a drop of snow and not even clouds. After hearing that we wanna see snow our kind tour guide Xiao Liu had helped us to check up the weather forecast for the rest of the day in Beijing. &Surprisingly he told us that there will be a little snow, as snow is generating in sky. We also happened to see clouds on that day but sadly NO SNOW! -.- To add on, they was another 6 members of family join us for the trip. (Strangers) So in total we had 18 Singaporeans :D! We spent 5 1/2 days in Beijing and 2 1/2 days in Xi'an. During the 5 1/2 in Beijing we went to places like the Temple of Heaven, Qianmen Street, Tiananmen Square, National Threatre ( Shuidan ), Forbidden City, The Great Wall, Ming Tombs, Shimao Tianjie, Yonghe Gong, Deshengmen Tower, Summer Palace also know as the Yiheyuan, visited Siheyuan houses, Shichahai Pub street, Wangfujiang Street and last but not least the "Bird Nest" and "Water cube".Anyway the places we visited were not in order and also i can't really remember which day i went to the place, so i will roughly type what i remember :D! Anyway this are just for recordings and remembering! Temple of Heaven is a very very special place, the wall in this area can reflect voices if we stand at the another end of the wall. For example a particular person is standing and facing at the start of the wall and talk the other person at the end of the wall will hear what the person say. Cool isn't it? :) Actually by standing at any area of the wall you will just hear it. Proceed on, we reached the peak of the place. There's this tiles arranged into a circle. If any of us stand in the circle and the person at the middle of the circle scream, we will hear the echoes clearly. A very cool place indeed. Not only that, they are also other stuffs about the echo happening in the Temple of Heaven. As for Qiananmen square, nothing much? Just a square to take a picture with Maozedong. On the 5 1/2 days in Beijing we climbed the Great Wall. Totally WOW! My sister, uncle and me only manage to climb a portion of the stairs -,- Seriously i wonder how the people in the past built the Great wall of china. It is so steep, the distance between each stair is different and worst is that the height of the stair varies. So if you have short legs and weak stamina, don't climb. -,- Anyway i am kindda peifu the people who built the great wall. I believed that it isn't an easy job. Salute them. Oh beside that my dad, brother, Reeve (nephew) and his grandpa also manage to climb a certain number of stairs. Of course mum and both of my another aunt climbed the starting of the stairs only. So counted as they climbed the Great Wall "D After getting down the Great Wall, i got myself a souveiror. :D After that we went for a foot massage after walking so much for the last few days. Anyway during the foot massage damn hilarious, my nephew keep cyco me that it is so painful etcetcetc. Cute nephew. We also managed to take a trishaw ride touring the Hutongs. &A funny scene happened. One of the trishaw thought that there's enough trishaw and he rode away. And my sister and uncle was taking picture and by the time all the trishaw were set off they were left behind. So we were like all starting to shout at the uncle that leaves us first to come back. -,- Stopped once to visit a Siheyuan house. :D To the Ming tombs, i thought that i am going to see the Emperor coffin but sadly all were replaced by fake ones. But the place is kindda scary and "yin qi" very strong. However after we came out of the tomb, we had to walk out of this gate and shout "我出来了". So naturally we heard alot people shouting that. Lunches and dinner were also nice :D Beside going to the place i mentioned, we also went to the headquater of Tongrentang and went to the well-known local restuarant Quanjude to eat Peking duck :D! Awesome-ness, hehehes! Of course shopping at Silkstreet Market :D Well proceed on to Xi'an, our tour guide was Xiao hai (girl). What i know about this lady is that she is very very very very good at talking. She can talk for effing 1 hour non-stop. LOL! At Xi'an we went to places like Xi'an Ancient City Wall, ZhongGuLou Square, Grand Cien temple, Wide Goose Pagoda, Gaojia Dayuan, Terra Cotta Warrior, Huaqing Hot spring, Tang paradise, Qian tomb, Tomb of princess Yongtai. Yea mostly tombs because Xi'an ground are full of tombs and most of the emperor tombs are found there too. So even if they have to have build underground train, they have to inspect the ground to check if there are any historical stuffs. Nothing much in Xi'an also, little elaboration. The most amazing thing is the Terra Cotta & one of the tomb we visited. And the hot spring. :D So the hotel we stayed in Xi'an is very scary -,- Dark and ..... hmmm ! Don't dare to sleep with my sister alone in the room so asked dad to join us -,- But in Beijing we stayed in 5 stars hotel, Marriot Hotel. So i feel rather good living in the room alone with sister. But for Xi'an no-no. LOLS And the room in Beijing is freaking awesome, can see through the bathroom. The bed is beside the bathroom can see through the toilet and room. Hahahahs, awesome.
Sooooo that all for my 8 days in Beijing and Xi'an. Funfunfunfun, &i can see that my uncle is very happy. My brother is sick during the third day in Beijing. &&&&Sick boy disturbed my uncle when we were at Xi'an with the turning doors. HAHAHAS! So funny, my brother squeezed my uncle to the corner and he ran out himself and my uncle have to walk two rounds in order to get out. Hilarious! And because of that incident i laugh like a mad girl, and i tripped over the mat and FELL DOWN uglily! But i still continue laughing like a mad girl, and the man standing outside couldn't control also laugh althought he was trying to pull me up to stand. I looked at my mum and she was also laughing -,- HAHAS! And since after kena trap in the door, my uncle starts to avoid walking in to the turning doors tgt with my bro, me and sis. HAHAHA! &another incident is that my damn nephew FARTED non-stop. ZZZ and i am sitting with him. I can't stand it and i voiced out and his brother scold him. His granny started to scold him too and he cried. DAmn him. LOL getting naughtier. Sooo i prefer Reeve more. TOILETS! Toilets in Beijing is 90% more better than Xi'an because of the different living conditions. Hmmm, andandandand the washing tap, the water are cold! So whenever we washed our hands we would jump and laugh at each other. Meals in Beijing and Xi'an were almost the same and it depend on who cook it better -,- So everyday eat the same made us scare. But last day we ate in Singapore restuarant. Hehehs! So singapore ya ! Hhahahahas, so much of memories for this journey. I miss it. :D If there's other stuffs to add on i will post more. Hehs!
