According to sites I’ve read, Kunming is famous for its breathtaking scenic natural landscape. You can try to visit the Stone Forest which [...] Read more:Train
Yuyuan Garden Shanghai 2008-01-27 04:39:48 Yu Yuan actually means Contentment according to one travel site I saw.
Yu Yuan Garden
is a “five-acre garden consists of six sections separated by boundary walls: Grand Rockery, Ten Thousand-Flower Pavilion, Hall of Heralding Spring, Hall of Jade Magnificence, Inner Garden and Lotus Poo located in Shanghai
.”
The place has a magnificent colorful architecture. [...]
Unique Tea Serving 2008-01-24 05:15:55 Tea is more popular drink in China rather than coffee. They have too many kinds of tea leaves I never get to memorize. The famous ones are Jasmine, Oolong Tea, Green Tea.

Xijiao Hotel 2008-03-17 03:29:55 Xijiao Hotel
is one of the hotels near Haidian district. Walking distance from BLCU, you can opt to stay here if you want to walk around Wudaokou for a short while. This hotel is quite convenient and clean but not that great. It’s probably a three-four star hotel if I remember correctly. [...]
Olympics torch relay begins 2008-04-03 01:53:57 I’m not really keen with Olympics
when I was younger. I just know that the whole concept of Olympic games came from Greeks. I’m more facinated with history than sports and I know this Olympics 2008 in Beijing is history in the making. Starting with much controversy, first with Steven Spielberg pulling [...]
Quan Ju De 2008-04-05 11:32:54 Quan Ju De equates to PEKING DUCK in Beijing. The brand had survived 100 years already in China and still going strong. With branches sprouting everywhere in Beijing and also supermarket brands (pre-packed Peking duck), you can say Quan Ju De had become a household brand for most Chinese.
I [...]

And last April
Fool in Beijing, they also orchestrated the same thing! The location in Beijing was Jianwai Soho on April Fool
’s Day..perfect way to celebrate [...] Read more:Freeze

Papa John’s Pizza 2008-04-08 22:44:58 I’m not actually familiar with Papa John’s Pizza
at first. I thought it’s just another pizza store. As I research, I saw that it’s actually a franchise from the United States orginating from Indiana.
I discovered this in Beijing from a friend who recommended it for its variety of flavor. But [...]
Wudaokou Best-Kept secrets 2008-04-27 03:07:19 A student like me with an adventurous heart and a big appetite (on certain a season like Winter!) had gone up and down in this lovable district called Wudaokou. It was my home away from home for a while with friends that shared memories with me at that time. We skipped from [...]
Chinese pod 2008-05-06 01:26:28 Interestingly, you can learn Chinese
(Mandarin) at your own home. This sounds like an advertisement but I do think this is the best alternative for those who would want to self study Chinese. I found this site before, when I wanted to practice aside from our usual text books. I wasn’t really [...]
Chengdu earthquake 2008-05-14 09:19:12 Disaster after disaster…Myanmar had just experience a terrible cyclone that left more than 100,000 people dead. Now, China with the strong earthquake that hit Sichuan at 7.9 magnitude. With a lot of people still under rumbles, it’s quite saddening to know that most of the buildings that collapsed were schools meaning a lot [...]
Shanghai Museum 2008-05-20 09:52:15 Visiting museums should actually be one of the top must see of tourists when visiting new places. You get to sense the culture, history but most of all, you can check out cool artifacts.
I am actually fascinated about museums but I seldom go because either no one wants to go with me [...] Read more:Shanghai

Olympics Venues 2008-05-29 10:35:57 As the much awaited Beijing Summer Olympics
is nearing (official date to open is on 8/8/08 at 8:08:08 p.m, as the number is one of the most auspicious number in Chinese culture), one should know to stay strategically near the venues of the games you’ll want to watch. Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend any games [...]
Xin Tian Di 2008-06-21 01:41:04 *Pardon my blurry pictures, I wanted to capture the beautiful lights however I couldn’t keep my hands still while taking picture..
Xin Tian Di is one of the attractions in Shanghai. It literally means “New Sky and Land”. I don’t have the picture of the whole place but it’s a hodgepodge of bars, restaurants in an [...]
Olympics Sponsors 2008-07-12 02:00:09 I’ve noticed a lot of consumer goods bombarding people about the coming Beijing Olympics
. I, for one, didn’t notice it’s already JULY! 1 month to go and it’s the Olympics already. I passed by Mcdonald’s yesterday and noticed they are promoting engraved logos of Beijing Olympics.
Then while I was browsing on [...] Read more:Sponsors
