Beijing: my TOP 10

...Beijing trip was actually in October 2009 for 4 days, but I guess there`s no harm in writing about it now :)

1.(BEST EXPERIENCE!) Tandem bike adventures in HUTONGS...there are 9 million bicycles in Beijing ;) ...so just rent one and go wherever you feel like! :) Amazing discoveries guaranteed!


2. The Great wall of China - breathtaking!!!


3. Houhai lake - a true party lake in the middle of the city surrounded by hutongs! So many cool bars, cafes and restaurants!!!



4. Summer palace...to daydream about the royal life :)


5. Forbidden city - full of people....but a MUST SEE :)




6. Bird`s nest - Olympic stuff :)


7. Beijing yoghurt: yummy!


8. Russian restaurant TRAKTIR next to this Russian shop :) - true delight - proper pickles, cranberry morss, potato salad, marinated mushrooms, etc (those who live away from home can understand my excitement about his kinda food ;)



9. Tiananmen square:
crowds, rush, chaos, portrait of MAO on the facade of the Forbidden city...gotta be there...gotta see it ...gotta feel it..


10. P.S. When we were there in the autumn of 2009...
