7月23日 Sexy Beijing Welcomes you!Welcome to Beijing!
 Temple of Heaven, Beijing
Beijing, the capital of China has drawm the world's attention to this City for this coming August. A lot of friends ask me what impress me most of beijing, where they should go for fancy places in bj. Frankly, I have left beijing for 5 years, the $500 billion massive investment has totally change this city. No matter how fancy this city has become, in my dreams, I am always back to beijng for hutong, the unique Chinese culture and delicious food, of couse hearing the familar beijing dialect, one more thing, night life and shopping. Beijing has been chosen as the capital of China for more than 3000 years overall the chinese history. This dramatic history has left beijing more than 5000 antique places such as forbidden city, Tian'an Men Square, Summer palace, the great wall of China. So if you travel in beijing for a week. I would choose 3 or 4 unique antique places in Beijing. I would also take a trip to the unique National Theater of Arts for a unique Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is regarded as one of the highest achievement of Chinese cultural becaise it is performed through a combination of song, spoken dialogue, and codified action sequences, such as gestures, movement, kongfu, fighting and acrobatics.It takes many many years to become a Beijing operal singer, normally they need to study it from very young age. Hutong is also a unique cultural of beijing. They acutally are small and narrow alleys which connect the interior of Beijing's old city. They are usually straight and run east to west so that doorways can face north and south for Feng Shui reasons. They vary in width — some are very narrow, enough for only a few pedestrians to pass through at a time. Once ubiquitous in Beijing, siheyuans and hutongs are now rapidly disappearing, as entire city blocks of hutongs are leveled and replaced with high-rise buildings. Luckliy, Some particularly historic or picturesque hutongs are being preserved and restored by the government, especially for the 2008 Olympics. You can find these hutong with old town near Qian'men. It was the perserved old town of Beijing. Now you may wonder how about chinese food, if there are any good food in beijing. sure are.hehe..
Chinese people has always treated food as part of their culture very much. There is an old saying still being quoted today ---"Food is the first neccessity of the people." Delicious and nutritious food has been regarded as the basics of ordinary life. Indeed, the greeting for most Chinese when meeting one another tends not to be "how are you", but more popularly, "Have you eaten?" ! Everywhere in China, regardless if it's a big or small town, you can find Chinese restaurants and food stalls easily. In fact, Chinese restaurants are commonly found in cities all over the world! Food in China is a communal affair. Chinese food is often taken together as a family unit with the emphasis on shared dishes. Only the rice or buns are served individually; everything else is shared from a communal bowl, including the main soup. It is always a Chinese culture to greet each other while sitting down for a meal and wait for everyone to be seated before a meal can start. The most senior or elderly person at the table will take the first bite and only then, will the rest of the diners join in.For beijing, the most famous would be Peking roast duck, more than a hundred years of history, it has become the icon of beijing food industry.Also Beijing hot pot dong laishun has been the most famous mogolian hot pot in whole China. if you not into duck or hot pot, dont worry, there are thousands of restaurants in beijing which flavour 2 major catogories of chinese cuisine under Southern and Northern. In general, the southern dishes emphasize freshness and tenderness. Due to the cold weather, northern dishes are relatively oily, and the use of vinegar and garlic tends to be quite popular. As far as staple food is concerned, people in North China favor noodles, dumplings and other staple food made from flour while the majority in the South almost consume rice daily.As time went by, distinct local flavors were added to the Chinese dishes, such as the Northern food("Lu" or the Shandong dishes), the Southern food ("Yue" or the Cantonese dishes), the Chuan food (Sichuan dishes), Huai Yang (Yangzhou) and the vegetarian foods and recipes of each kind of dishes have been handed down. There are four oldest types of Chinese food: the Sichuan, Cantonese, Northern(Beijing and Shandong) and Huaiyang. Later on, eight types gradually evolved after the Tang and Song Dynasties (the Beijing, Sichuan, Cantonese, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan and Fujian groups). Each of these groups has its own history and unique techniques.
Of course there are thousands of bars and nightlife karaokes in beijing too. Heaps of shops and millions of expats in China. You will enjoy the journey and dont forget, the Great Olympic, those beautiful veneus and people will show you one of the greatest ever of Olympic.
Good luck, beijing!
