There is a street in Beijing which is called walking street” Wang fu ji men”. In fact we one of our evenings, as were looking for night market and it is not so far from Tiananmen square. We were planning to buy some cheap and local souvenir for Wijbren’s parents there so we were walking and in less than 15 minutes we stumbled in the middle of crowd in Walking street which is basically one of those big street ,a mixture of old and modern Chinese cultural things, full of small and big malls ,brands ,souvenir shops all at the same place. Before than reach there we discovered plenty of flea food market which are located in Dong Hua Men ,were covered part of a street back to the Walking street with strong food’s aroma ,tempting people change the way and have a look there, at least.
You could find plenty of different type of food there ,include sea food ,weird dishes grass hopper, lizard, snakes, noodles, dumplings and so on.
Which was amazing to try them and prices were reasonable.
IN THE WALKING AS WE EXPECTED WE MET COUPLE OF BEGGERS HOOKED ON US AND AS SOON AS WE PUT OUR FEET INSIDE OF ANY SHOPS NO MATTER WHAT WE WANTED ,THEY HANGED ON US TO SELL SOMETHING,ANYTHING,ANY PRICE THAT YOU WOULD PAY.
There are 2 places which are very attracted by tourists and pretty well-known ,decent places to get drunk or feel Beijing atmosphere.
When mentioned the night life of Beijing people, Houhai Bar Street and Sanlitun Bar Street should be the top two attractions to the trendy people. “Hou” means “back” while “hai” means “sea” in Chinese. Sitting to the north of the Forbidden City, Houhai gets its name from the location. Actually it is a man-made lake. Known as Back Lake, houhai and adjoining lakes Xihai and Qianhai— collectively known as the Shi Cha Sea were dug in 14th century (Yuan Dynasty) to berth barges from the Grand Canal, bringing goods from around China.But San Li Tun compare to Hou hai Bar Street is more crowded and crazier and full of tourist, cause offering a bit more modern style of bars and music.
Half day of our trip to Beijing we spent to find the Beijing West train station and in that hub luckily I could find somebody to help us sort out our train ticket to Mongolia, as it is summer peak time, getting train ticket to anywhere ,especially Tibet and Mongolia is pretty hard. We were lucky could get our first class ticket for the next day and it took us 12 hours to get from Beijing to Hohhot( capital of inner Mongolia).
In our last day of a week as staying in Bejing we wated to see Olympic Park an Forest Park in Bejing.as we were hanging on the metor most of the time.Cuase being cheap ,handy and fast,we found out in ess than half an hour can hit the forest park.
The park was designed to accommodate tennis, archery and hockey events during the 2008 Olympic Games and a great public park, in which only electric vehicles are allowed, after the Games. An expressway which crosses the park has been designed as a ‘green bridge’ ecological corridor over Beijing's Fifth Ring Road. It links the southern and northern parts of the forest park and is intended to be a landmark. The Olympic Forest Park has subway stations, an open air theatre, a lake, and a sophisticated system for bubbling air into the water for purification.
