北京 Beijing ペキン

LEAVE ME COMMENTS IF YOU'RE FREE <3 i doubt i will see any of you on msn haha

Amebaでブログを始めよう!
its AUTUMN here and the leaves are dying haha.
we decided to avoid the overly popular and suuperly
jammed pack XiangShan, which I went with Ruiling previously.
The maple leaves there may be nicer, but I really have doubts as
to how we can even walk, as the paths there are small and steep.

SO, we went to BaiWangShan. As usual, an MRT ride and a
terribly long bus ride (thankfully, we found seats somewhere
at the beginning of the ride).

It wasn't all red at Baiwangshan. There was a combination of
different colors; yellow, orange, reds and greens too. The
highest peak there is 210m and it is VERY easy to climb,
as compared to XiangShan. From the bottom, you can see
the peak, which is pretty good motivation ahha (unlike
XiangShan ... we couldn't see the top).

This is the bus we took there. Look at the number of stopsss!!
We took the bus for about half of the stops, for about
an hour in total!!

Whoo~ Minyu & I went to Forbidden City on Saturday (Nov1st).
The place is so big and it closes at 4.30pm (@Д@;
thats just too earlyyy!! we didnt even finish exploring half of it!
maybe cause we took too long to eat lunch haha! we went to
eat shabu shabu (hotpot).

We saw many rooms and sections, but many of them were not
accessible as they wanted to preserve all the furniture. For
example, the queen's room or something like that. So from
outside, we could have a peek inside, and most looked dark
and musty! I guess they are even afraid of wiping the furniture,
in case it disintegrates ( ̄ー ̄;

As usual, all pictures can be enlarged when you click on them!
