China trip 1

Come with me...to visit China...

It takes time around 4 hours till reach Beijing at 18.00 hrs. ,it's cold outside and the temperater is around

12-14 celcious ,the new airport here is quite big and convenience,high ceiling is decorated with small lights

look like stars in the sky, I like that...

Then the local guide takes us to the restaurant named Nadang Restaurant for first dinner which takes around

half an hour from the airport then go the the hotel named "Shenchen International Hotel" which is quite

far away from the center of Beijing. Actually,in Beijing they set the urban map totally 6 circles ,the first

ring is mostly crowd and slow down till the last circle. Yes,we stay at the good hotel, even it's not five

stars hotel  but it's fine, big room has air-cndition and heater,it's convenience.

Good morning Beijing !



First place to visit is Tainunmen Square which is the great place remind people to the "Tainunmen Square protests of 1989". It knows as the place of more students and inttectuals dead from againt the government

since Apr 14,1989 had begun.Soldiers use troops and tanks came to the square and cleared with live fire.

There were more dead without known how many totally cause people were  killed without leaving evidence

behind. 

From this happened since that time till present, it's remind people around the world to the victim of situation.

Not only people around the world come to visit this place but also Chinese people from other side of
