Beijing

Trip to Beijing was fascinating


from the beautiful and enormous forbidden city and Tiananmen Square,
one of their widely known attractions
the wonderful sculptures, breathtaking view and ideal design
it was indeed a really different and amazing experience
the place is about 150 white house in size

 

we say, how can you resist that delicious Peking duck, a famous duck dish in China ?
the chef slices the duck in front of each customer and they have to come in 108 pieces if he's an experienced cook
it's like a tradition
this dish normally goes well with some kind of flatbread, scallion and sweet sauce

  

another favorite food of mine, candied haws or Tanghulu
one of the famous snack in China


 


Summer Palace or Yihe Yuan a place where Empress Dowager Cixi visits during her leisure time
a nice place for relaxation and recreation
an impressive place for photographers and nature lovers

 

needless to say, Great Wall is a certain place to visit when you're in Beijing
one of the greatest man made structure

  

Pandas are cute like seriously, especially when their munching on their food !
forget their super dark eyes, they're adorable;)

 

Temple of Heaven or Tian Tan, the best place to portrait human's great mind
the tower was built without a single nail, only wood pieces sliding against each other
it didnt even collapse during massive earthquakes that occurred in China
it once caught fire but was rebuilt immediately after that


the extraordinary thing that made this trip meaningful and memorable was it actually snowed !
something really unexpected, my first time seeing real snow
pure, white and so romantic


it's my turn to conquer Bird's Nest


to the d, to i to the s-g-u-s-t-i-n-g
mark my words, the scorpions are still moving wth


this shows how delicious Peking duck is
be sure to visit Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant when you're in Beijing
one of the top Peking duck restaurant in Beijing, daddy's favorite :)


apart from that, every girls' favorite
 SHOPPING !
last few days were all about shopping, shopping and shopping
my feet almost worn out
but it's worth the pain
craving for ONLY, H&M, vero moda and meters/bonwe now :(
why don't they have it in msia ?
