First to Beijing, then to Nanjing

Over the Chinese New Year holiday, a couple of us went to Ha Er Bin and a bunch of us went to Beijing. It was a good time at Beijing, th cultural centre of China, visiting the sites filled with pre-historic flavour. Eg: He Shen Fu, Yuan Ming Garden, Yi He Yuan, Forbidden Palace, Ming Mausoleum and of course, the famous Great Wall of China.

The old traits of the travel agency surfaced, with 1/4 of the time spent in shops that sponsored our trip. Some of us leave wondering whether is there any truth in the items they sell.

Over the previous weekend, I went to Nanjing with a NOC mate, Benghan plus a colleague, Amanda and her friend. Also another historically importance place, with the Sun Yat Sen grave, XuanWu Lake, Fuzi Miao and Yu Hua Tai. Home to many cultural incidents like the Taiping Rebellion, Yu Hua Tai martyr sacrifices and Sun Quan’s grave and capital during Warring States.

Details…. in future!
