Ni hao..:) Beijing is one of the country that most tourist like to go. It is because Beijing contains a lot history and also there is one of the seven wonder of the world besides Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, Mausoleum, and Lighthouse in Alexandria. But there are an important thing to advise you before you make a trip to Beijing which is learn Chinese Language or hire a tour guide. It is because Chinese people could not speak other language including English Language.
When you make a visit to Beijing, China, there are three compulsory thing you need to do:
1) Great Wall China
During my trip to Beijing last December during Winter, I got a chance to visit one of the seven wonders in the world which is Great Wall of China. Why Great Wall of China listed on the list of the seven wonders of the world? It is because Great Wall of China surrounded almost all the country of China. Furthermore, its architecture structure still strong until now. Whomever come to this Great Wall of course must to take the opportunity to climb the wall so as me. The stairs were very stiff and the distance from one stair to another is unstable. I only be able to climb until the second post as the activity of climbing the Great Wall was very exhausting. But, surprisingly, the old local people able to climb the Great Wall until The highest point! I felt challenged at that time. To reach Great Wall of China you may took a bus because it may be easier.

2) Eat peking duck
Peking Duck is he food that you must eat when you step onto China land. Peking Duck is one of the most favourite food among the tourist and the local people. The taste of Peking duck is just like duck or chicken, but uniquely its skin was very crunchy and tasty. Peking duck is not be served with rice or noodles but, it will be eaten like McD chicken wrap. The restaurant will provide us with the wrap, vegetables and the Peking Duck. the most interesting about Peking Duck itself is we have to make our own wrap with the ingredients provided by the restaurant.

3) Shopping at Wangfujing
Have you ever heard about cheap branded handbags and branded shoes in China? But you do not know the place. It was Wong fu Jing. Here you can get cheap branded bags like Long Champ and Coach at extremely low price. There were also many other things like shoes, accessories and clothes. However, there is some tradition in the WangFuJin. You must clever in bargaining for the price. In my experience, i got to buy a handbags at which its original price is 100 yen with only 500 yen. It was so amazing!

Do you like Chinese movie or drama? Where there are a huge and ancient castle? It was being filmed at Forbidden City. Forbidden City is one of the most popular attraction among the tourist that come to Beijing. There are three layer off the Forbidden City. Once upon a time, the outer layer of Forbidden City is for slave, the middle layer is for the Emperor's concubine and the most inner layer is for the emperor and the empress. Furthermore, there is lake that surround almost all the city. However during my visit to the Forbidden city during winter, all the water of the lake were freezing.
