While in Beijing, planning on visiting the Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square.
|
Tiananmen Square is directly across the street/plaza from Forbidden City... Many of the historic sites in Beijing are quite close...
There are many places to enter the Forbidden city, tour groups push you to where the huge picture of Mao is...(gate of heavenly peace) Tiananmen is opposite Mao
If you have some time in Beijing... there is a really good pizza place near the embassies...
Great Wall.... go to Muntianyu.... its a longer drive from Beijing than the Badaling section of the wall....Badaling is where most of the tours go....
I've been to a few parts of the wall...
Muntianyu... and I suck at taking pictures..
You can change money at any bank... you will need your passport, and papers.... of course depending where you are in China, finding an english speaker in the bank may be problematic
