Day 51 – Monday

Beijing Day 3

The day was spent at Bird nest stadium and the Water cube and more shopping. I was pretty much looking forward to the visit to both of these places. Its 2008 massive architecture that was shown to the world during the Olympic day. And finally the day has come for us to experience it. It started raining in the morning. But however I am quite in love with raining day so yup its pretty much alright for myself. Listening to the rain drops with such cooling air was a plus plus idea for me. Went in to the Bird nest Stadium first, first impression was wow. Then later when I started walking in and sitting down to fully experience it as a so called spectator, it felt less impressive already. It’s nice no doubt, however the size which appeared on television was a totally different kind of experiences, it’s so much massive in the TV, never mind about it, but the overall outlook was very nice to say. Went over to get gifts for my friends and family before leaving the place.

Next headed over to the water cube stadium. It was nice on the outside and inside. Very white in the interior, I love it( one of my favourite colour). The swimming pool and everything was pretty much very impressive as well.
Last stop we headed over to shop. Its more expensive as compared to Dalian. I didn’t really get a lot of stuff. Things are just expensive and less impressive. (For some). Gotten CD though.

Day 50 – Sunday

Beijing Day 2

Day two was spent travelling around. We went to the Great Wall Of China, most people that has already went over, was saying that it is impossible to climb finish to the top, or that its really tiring and stuff, however what was in my mind before climbing was I was going to try my very best to complete that task, however sadly, we were only given like a 1.5hrs to climb up and also back down to the original location. And yes it’s quite tiring at times of the climbing, it’s very steep for some path and the stairs were very much uneven and way higher than a safe stair case.

We took quite a fair bit of photos as every step we walked ourselves up the top, the scenes from all angles was just way too beautiful that we snapped our way up. Lighten up my mood a little by having that cool winding wind (the one I experienced in Dalian) and also that massive scene of the whole lot just was lovely.
Later we headed over to the 13 tombs of the emperors of the Qing dynasty and lastly was the summer palace where the emperors once live in and enjoy their times in there, its like a garden for them.
I started to appreciate the Chinese Architecture, where they all have some similarities in them but however after seeing so many of them, I am pretty much impress and starts loving them ever since.
