Being in Beijing 2007-12-31 12:05:00 By Vinnie ApicellaThe Chinese capital is in full bloom during springtime while the progression of citywide preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games is in full swing. It was with a sense of pride that I gazed out the window during my taxi ride from Beijing
International Airport through the brief stretch of rural terrain. Onward into the urban sprawl to see these majestic monolithic creations with the grand entrances and dazzling decor. Why? It’s difficult to know for sure, but I’ve always held a fascination for the Far East and its architectural beauty and brilliant light displays. But after all, this was in broad daylight and only my fourth visit to the big city and still with so much to see and do; I certainly couldn’t boast of it being my adopted second home…yet anyway.Beijing is

China Culture: Beijing Hutong 2007-12-28 07:22:00 By Jacklyn ChenEntering the modernized Beijing
, what interest people the most often are not those row upon row of sky rises, nor are the wide streets extending in all directions. What really attract travelers are the deep and quiet winding Hutongs full of warm, beautiful Siheyuan, or quadrangles. Therefore, the ancient capital culture has been named as "Hutong culture" and "Siheyuan culture", this indeed is not over said.In the past, Beijing was largely formed by tens of thousands of Siheyuan that were aligned back-to-back, face-to-face, and side by side. For the convenience of coming in and out, a walking passage must be kept between each row of Siheyuan, this is what we call Hutong.In the Yuan Dynasty, gaps between Beijing's Hutongs were much wider. Therefore the descendants chose the op Read more:China

Beijing Central Airport in China 2007-12-28 06:59:00 By Fred TittleCompared to the mess that was Shanghai, Beijing
was a snap getting in and out of while not nearly as pretty and modern as some of the other main airports in China
like the modern newer airports in Xiamen, Xian or Lhasa. The passport control was busy and the customs are through, but they process you in a reasonable amount of time. The airport had everything that you would expect, except for one very notable flaw; there is no train into the city, which is unfortunate. They do a have a expressway that goes straight into Beijing from the airport, so the cheapest way to get to Beijing, if you are a single, is to take the bus, the problem with this is that you have no idea where they are dropping you off, so you are at the mercy of the taxis from there and they are quite mercenaril Read more:Central
