Beijing Day 1

So.. aft onli spending one 'tourist' day round shanghai.. in which i seriously did not cover much..

---i left for beijing..

1 hr 40 mins domestic flight from Shanghai up to Bei Jing

My flight got delayed.. So.. 1 hr of pure boredom... non stop flipping of magazine.. chat on the hp..time is hard to kill when u r all alone...

I seriously think all these china people has some attitude/character problems... wats the rush to get down when the plane havent found a spot to park?????madness.....

Finally.. i reached beijing.. n met up with yangyang.. (made in beijing)

.. i m so glad she went to uk for good n came to sg to work .. not staying in a place like beijing.. behaving like one of them!!! haha

Well, seriously she comes back to beijing once a yr, she knows nuts about tourist attractions nor anywhere that we can go visit..

~!@!@$%%&*(_- its real funnie trying to act PRO with a bloody complicated map of beijing..

==++==This is GREAT WALL OF BEIJING==++==

it seperates this lil area from beijing station area.. a really long walk to get to the other end to cross over the wall zone...

So, we took bus from our beijing station area down to Tian Tan.. An ancestrial hall surrounded by a huge area where old folks hang around day to day.. may it be to dance, play chess, do some knitting or sleep..ZZZzzzzZZzzzz

On the way in..

This way to the main burial hall..
View from the bottom -->> Tian Tan
Stairways to Heaven?!
Artifacts found thru the yrs r kept here!
==Worship area..sacred ==
Made in the ming dynasty.. for Burning rituals

In the middle of the Stairs

There will always have a pair of pheonix

And a Pair of Dragon
**Infested with tourists.. nothing but people n more people all around.. whr do they come from?!?!

Looks like its made of jade.. but this is made of glazed glass!!
Burn burn burn away....
@ the back of Tian Tan
Huge Gates everywhere...
Tunnel linking the east-west gates

```~~~``` After long long walksz... both yang n me were tired n hungry... but CAndy(yang2 friend) havent end work.. we had to wait.. so.. we went for starbucks break ;
