Shanghai – Beijing Express Direct Z14 19:07

Z is a direct express, this time a total of five. Arrived in Beijing for 12 hours only soft sleeper (466 / per paved) and soft seat (283 dollars). Hard Seat or Hard Sleeper if we consider the option T is the ordinary express, arrived in Beijing for the 13 half-hour price can be cheaper

ps Ruanxi a dedicated waiting room, large sofa will not be crowded. The train is very comfortable and clean. Four to a room, hot water have been in good. There are free dinner and fruit snacks. Toilet with hot water facilities are provided on board. I take back their own set of future travel can also be used:)

I do not believe bed, but the clever thing is that I come and back to sleep, but the same train, same car, same bed Oh. Train marshals have spoken to, and car attendants are also the people of Shanghai.

Arrived at the Beijing station to my very poor first impression, excited the train, a ticket lost in a station platform. It was Han Zhu us, a group handling the “blind” is picked up our tickets, big New Year’s to the point of tip, or we do not vote out not to, but also make up more than 400 votes. They are a group of people, to tell the truth is a bit of terror. Certainly not what they say is, get marshals took us out of station, Jianshibumiao, they obediently returned to us to vote. However, a note was shocked. Be careful away from home.

07:07 arrive at Beijing Railway Station – Metro (Dongzhimen) (3 yuan / person) – Beijing Zoo (10 per adult / student 5 yuan) – Beijing – Tsinghua University – Summer Palace (season tickets: Adults 20 yuan / student 10 yuan) – China Meteorological Administration Guest House accommodation

We started to play the outskirts of Beijing, this line is the way the tour. Beijing Zoo is the extra out. Without children could not. Summer Palace do not buy a package, because the kind of attractions in Suzhou Street, is for us southerners in the familiar. Visit the Longevity Hill, the bridge to 17 holes is enough to do if the ship can save labor, less walking (no boat in winter). Where the scenery is no less in the south. Two universities are large, take a stroll to all that is not possible to visit the famous scenic spots on it. North of the building is really classic, think of the original high school, parents should take us to, even if Beijing can not afford test, at least inspire us to aspire to the university. Tsinghua door rent bicycles (Spring Festival did not open) can be considered of interest, shopping and more fun than doing school bus.

Best line: It should be the Summer Palace – Summer Palace – Beijing – Tsinghua University.
(The first two times the doors, so that would be plenty of playing time. We are because of lack of time did not go into the Winter Palace.)

Deshengmen take 919 (12 yuan / person) – Great Wall (40 yuan for adults Insurance +2 / +2 students to 22.5 yuan insurance) – places like Home (Grand View Garden Hotel)

10 more to Deshengmen, many people queuing, but such time is not very long. Do not listen to what people say the black car had been late, no car like that. 919 to do a direct train to the Great Wall, one seat each, the high-speed, 90 minutes or so to get off to walk for 10 minutes, very convenient. Deng Changcheng I also introduced a few to see personal strength. In fact, each beacon of the attractions are the same, where do not have to regret not visited. Send a package where there is no specific place, in others we are hosting a small shop 10 yuan. Back in the same place with 919 returned. The last train around 16:30. As to the night, playing time and more. Ming Tombs final did not go, want to go see other Gonglue.

Plenty of time: the Great Wall – Ming Tombs – the Ming Tombs Reservoir for a money.

Clear targets of tourism – feel the ancient capital city of the Imperial style
Six Beijing as the capital, with royal demeanor deserves to grace the Imperial City, almost all to attractions and the history of the royal dynasty, on the 5th of self-help travel I deeply feel this sense of Chinese political history interest a friend is worth a visit to the capital’s.
The last sentence is another meaning to say, if the political history of China is not interested in friends or go somewhere else got. Otherwise you will find many attractions are identical, no difference. Basically a big park and some buildings on behalf of the feudal elite. If interested can go to Hainan Shanghai, Qingdao, Dalian, Mount Putuo; interested to Inner Mongolia grassland; interested in the desert to Tibet; on the snow-capped mountains of interest to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain; the mountain of interest to the Five Sacred Mountains and Huangshan.

2, developing travel plans – preparation, tours
(A) preparations.
1. Buy train tickets in advance. I purchased the T102 th 20:02 pm express train hard seat, the next day 9:34 to Beijing. Tickets 179 yuan.
Friendly reminder: Book sleeper is not set, the soft sleeper have a reservation, but too expensive to 499 yuan, you can post up hard sleeper ticket on the train, but it is difficult to make up to, where I teach an experience, is to advance 1 hour waiting, so you can ranked team in waiting in front of ticket, you have to register once to train, sleeper replacement ticket, the conductor will be your ticket to write a serial number the more the opportunity to set more toward the front to the sleeper. To play well, we should rest well. Set a sleeper well worth it.
