Winter in Beijing....


My spouse say that she wanted to visit Beijing, China and ask me whether I am coming. After some though I told her that I am not going and that she should makes the visit with our daughter. I had visited Beijing before and she did not accompany me at that time as the visit was an official one. Now with the children grown up into a young lady. It would be great if the two of them go without me. She love doing just that and off they went on a five days trip to Beijing at the beginning of Winter. It was just a six hours flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. They left at twelve thirty in the morning and arrived in the early morning at six thirty, in the cold of winter in Beijing. According to an email they send from Beijing it was snowing in Beijing when they set foot out of the airport terminal.

Well what a change in the weather in just six hours. The temperature in Kuala Lumpur were thirty five degree Celsius and in Beijing it is five degree below zero..Winter in Beijing. They were prepared for the winter trip so it seem they really enjoy their visit which includes the Great Wall of China, The Summer Palace, the forbidden City and of course the Tiananman Square in the heart of Beijing. These are places that one had to be when visiting China. You get to walk on the Great Wall, be part of this ancients monuments, see it at close range and touch it with your very own hands and feel the excitement of these great works of arts. You may have seen it thousand of time on movies and TV or photographs but it is not the same as been there yourselves. It is a great place to be, a moment in times that is so different. And I have been there. Indeed one of the Wonder of the World that only the Chinese could offer us.

It is not visiting China if you do not set foot on any of these places. Well that is that. The Great Wall is China and no other countries have it and it is also one of the Wonder of the World.

As usual she never miss shopping. She managed to squeeze some times to do her shopping and brought back things Chinese and a VCD images of the trip. I watch the VCD and from the look of it they really enjoy their visit to China, without Me!!!...Friends that is live.. Enjoy..And have fun.
