      We hit the Wall

      September 22, 2019 in China ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      It’s Saturday and our last day of sightseeing as we have left the final full day of our journey, tomorrow, absolutely free.

      Ben and Yang were ready for us at 8am and our first port of call was the Olympic Park and an outside view of two adjoining Stadia constructed for Beijing 2008. Firstly we saw the Bird’s Nest, a very recognisable and impressive stadium which accommodated the track and field events. Then we saw the adjoining Water Cube which looks like it is covered in bubble wrap. This housed the swimming and diving. The Chinese are very proud of holding International events and nationals still travel from all over the country to see landmarks such as these, in fact there is an average of 80,000 people per day who visit the Olympic Park (you have to pay to even see the stadia from the outside and even more to go inside).

      From here we had to travel 70 kilometres to The Great Wall of China. Our Tour Company does not visit the closest section to Beijing City due to over crowding and for this we are thankful. There was some interesting scenery on the way as we travel through hillsides famous for large scale production of all kinds of fruits and nuts.

      Now we arrive at the location known as Mutianyu and enter a world of a well oiled Chinese machine. Our first view of the Wall is a very long way above us and you can just pick out the line of the wall and a couple of turrets. The first stage is an efficient shuttle bus that transports us 5 minutes up the hill to a drop off point. From there you have an option of walking an hour up steep steps to the Wall or taking the cable car. Fortunately our Tour already included tickets for the latter. Well organised queues are of course the order of the day.

      We have been to several ‘Wonders of The World’ and iconic sights and one consistent theme is that we have been prepared to be disappointed but never have been. The Taj Mahal and Macchu Picchu spring to mind. The Great Wall is no exception. When we dismounted the cable car we got our first proper view and it was breathtaking in it’s scale and construction.

      Ben walked with us for a while and then left us to trek off on our own for an hour. The walk along the Wall is particularly interesting because the gradient and surface varies all the time. Sometimes it is a slope, sometimes steps (shallow, steep, narrow, wide) with gentle and sharp gradients. There were towers of varying sizes every couple of hundred yards apart as the Wall stretched ahead and behind us out of view. You have to keep remembering that this wall is many centuries old and runs for around 5,000 miles.

      There were quite a lot of people there but it was not overcrowded. The only problem was the heat and it was certainly hard work walking in around 28C between noon and 1pm. The shade of the towers was always welcome. We used our full time there and then descended back to base at the bottom where we enjoyed a nice lunch with Ben and Yang. As we have witnessed before on this tour, any opportunities guides and drivers have for a free meal is taken with relish. As it was an ‘as much as you can eat’ buffet our two helpers attacked the buffet as if they hadn’t eaten for several months. Now Yang is a big lad and decided not to eat at the same table as us, however we were able to see him devouring huge quantities of Chinese food at high speed and thought it would have been useful to wire up his chopsticks to the Chinese National Grid to give it a boost! To be fair I suspect all of our guides and drivers are not on brilliant money and we don’t blame them at all for enjoying plentiful good quality food when they have the chance.

      Then it was 70km back to Beijing which took about 2 hours. Now Ben had about four platefuls at the buffet and that took it’s toll as he slept for almost all the journey back. Fortunately Yang managed to stay awake and got us back to the hotel by about 4pm. We’d really enjoyed our last days sightseeing but were pleased to now have no more organised footslogging.

      We had not booked anything for the evening and took a short stroll from our hotel and fortunately found a precinct about 2 minutes walk away with a number of restaurants as well as, and we certainly found this hard to believe, a bar! So we sat outside this stylish bar with live music being played inside, Janet had a couple of G&T’s and John two cans of Guinness, as we weighed up our dinner options. When we asked for the bill the waiter came and shook his head when John pulled out a credit card. He quickly got his iPhone translator out and showed us the words ‘Cash only’. ‘No problem’ John intimated to the waiter with hand signals ‘but how much?’. The waiter got his calculator and punched in 220 (about £27). Mucking about John took the calculator off him and in the manner of market bartering changed this to 180. The waiter laughed and made gestures that a drinks bill is not negotiable. John took the calculator again and for a joke punched in 200 at which point the waiter said OK and the deal was done. We have never been able to negotiate a bar tab before! He got a good tip.

      After a big Chinese lunch we settled for dinner at the nearby Italian, named Annie’s, for pizza which we enjoyed with a bottle of red. The music selection swung between the Love Theme from The Godfather, Al Martino and Opera in a random rotation which is probably designed to make the locals feel that they are actually in Italy. It caused us some amusement after we’d heard The Godfather theme tune for the 5th time! By the way we were the last people to leave the restaurant....again!

      Eine scharfe Angelegenheit

      May 30, 2019 in China ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

      Unseren letzten Nachmittag verbrachten wir im Ritan Park. Die Anlage hat für Touristen nicht viel zu bieten und so waren wir beinahe die einzigen Europäer, die sich zwischen den Einheimischen tummelten. Hinter dem ersten Hügel erklangen Saxophone Töne, eine Tanzgruppe schwang ihre Hüften während ein Chinese seine Tai Chi Übungen praktizierte und ein Opa seinen Enkeln Flötenmusik vorspielte. Wir beobachteten das Spektakel und haben das bunte Treiben genossen.
      Ohne einmal Hot Pot gegessen zu haben konnten wir nicht zurück nach Deutschland fliegen und so ging es am letzten Abend zu Haidilou, einer Restaurantkette, die auf den Feuertopf spezialisiert und in China sehr beliebt ist.
      Seinen Ursprung hat die chinesische Art des Fondues in der Szechuan Küche, die vor allem für ihre Schärfe bekannt ist. Nach eigener Erfahrung können wir sagen, dass es eine feurige Angelegenheit war.

      Panda, Pinguin & Co.

      May 28, 2019 in China ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      Nachdem wir unseren Flug nach Chengdu verpasst haben und dadurch leider nicht die Panda Forschungsstation vor Ort besuchen konnten haben wir den Pandas im Pekinger Zoo einen Besuch abgestattet. Kleines Trostpflaster sozusagen. Die einzigen Pandas in Deutschland leben im Berliner Zoo, der das Pandapärchen als befristete Leihgabe von China erhielt. Nach dem Besuch im Giant Panda House wartete noch ein kleines Highlight. Ausgestattet mit mehreren Zweigen ging es zum Giraffengehege, wo sie uns schon ihre langen Hälse entgegen streckten. Nachdem die Riesen uns die ersten Zweige direkt aus den Händen gerissen haben, konnten wir sie danach gemütlich füttern und aus nächster Nähe beim fressen beobachten.Read more

      Forbidden City

      November 5, 2017 in China ⋅ 🌙 6 °C

      After Tiananmen square we walked through a subway adorned with carvings (and supervisory soldiers) to the south entrance of the Forbidden City. Enormous thick walls and and multiple layers make it seem like an optical illusion... The further you walk the further away it seems to be... Once in we joined the mass of Chinese tourists and pushed and shoved to peer into buildings. Lots of grim reminders of colonial Britain... Huge brass water pots scarred by British soldiers who thought they were gold and wanted a piece! The main thoroughfare was packed all the way through but eventually we destroyed to the Ladies quarters and the tourists largely evaporated. Our guide told us tales of ancient times and Chinese jokes and took endless photos of Dad and I.Read more

      Kurztrip nach Peking

      Shanghai - Peking: ca. 1200 Kilometer liegen zwischen diesen Städten. Mit dem Schnellzug ist man allerdings schon in knapp fünf Stunden dort. Zum Vergleich: von Hannover nach München sind es ca. 600 Kilometer und 5 Stunden mit dem Zug.Read more

      Time for Lunch

      September 27, 2018 in China ⋅ 66 °F

      After leaving the Forbidden City we made a quick stop for lunch. Everyone was hungry, including me, but I wasn't thrilled with the restaurant that the tour guide brought us to. It was a vegetarian restaurant so there wasn't anything being served that I could eat. The drink that was served with the meal was tea and, when I asked for water, I was told that water wasn't included in the meal and I had to pay extra for it. This meal was so disappointing. I hope that our other meals on the tour wouldn't be like this. I was surprised that everyone was given forks rather than chopsticks. Do they think that Americans are too stupid to know how to use chopsticks? How insulting!Read more

    • Day 22

      Tienamen plein en verboden stad

      May 18, 2016 in China ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

      De kamers zijn behoorlijk maar de muren gehorig! Vanaf half vijf horen we de buren boven, beneden en naast ons douchen, inpakken en waarschijnlijk vertrekken. Ik lig natuurlijk weer wakker!
      Eerst rijen we naar het Tianamenplein waar we het mausoleum van Mao van buiten zien, er staat een redelijke rij aan te schuiven maar ik heb het lijk van Ho Chi Ming gezien en ik weet hoe het gaat, go,go,go!
      Het is vooral druk en wij westerlingen zijn ver in de minderheid. Aan de overkant staat het peoples Palais, zeg maar de volksvergaderzaal. Dit grote gebouw is op 9 maanden gebouwd!
      I.p.v. ineens naar de verboden stad aan hetzelfde plein rijden we eerst naar de tempel van de hemel.Deze is niet gewijd aan Confusius, Boeddha of het taoisme, maar aan de keizer Yongle.
      De ceremonie begon altijd via de zuidpoort, drie dagen moest de kiezer vasten, niet echt zonder eten maar plat en smaakloos. Hij moest diep buigen op zijn knieën een kauw tauw. Na aankleding in een speciaal paleis ging hij naar het altaar of sacrificy waarin zij het middelpunt van de aarde verbeelden. Er werden 2 kalfjes levend in het vuur geworpen als offer aan de hemel.
      Daarna ging hij eten en liep hij over naar de hall of prayer for goed harvest en er werden dieren losgelaten en de eerste die er over liep werd weer geofferd als zijnd de dapperste.
      De dag had toen maar 12 u maar wel van 120' het blijft hetzelfde maar anders uitgedrukt.
      Op wandel in het park stoten we op een verzamelplaats van mensen met voor zich een brief of drukwerk op de grond, ze worden niet graag gefotografeerd en dat zijn we niet gewoon hier in China.
      Bij navraag aan Jacques blijken het een dating-evenement of huwelijksmarkt te zijn. Deze worden niet bezocht door de trouwlustige jongeren maar door hun ouders. Ook de aanbiedingen gebeuren door de ouders of grootouders, de jongeren zelf hebben geen tijd hiervoor. Bij interesse wordt er een foto getoont op smartphone van de zoekende en zo wordt er een afspraak gemaakt, alle gegevens staan op de brieven die er al liggen, sommige al jaren als je het mij vraagt.
      We krijgen vrij veel tijd om de tempel en het park te bezichtigen vóór we gaan lunchen. Ons laatste Chinese maaltijd, ik had geen honger maar zoals ons ma vroeger zei: je moet eten tegen de honger die komt!
      Dan de bus op voor de verboden stad, of het eigenlijke Tianamen, we gaan in de namiddag dan is het volgens Jacques minder druk. De Chinese toeristen doen de verboden stad in de voormiddag en rijden dan naar de Chinese muur in de namiddag, en daarom veel dichterbij dan wij deden.
      In de verboden stad zijn 999,5 kamers, je mag niet meer hebben dan de goden. Maar een Chinees noemt een kamer een plaats met 4 palen er hoefde geen muren rond te staan.
      Er zijn 5 toegangspoorten waarvan alleen de middelste voor de keizer. Ook vijf bruggen naar de vijf wijsheden van Confusius.
      Eens de eerste binnenkoer binnen staan er potten voor wierook omdat er niet te veel inkijk zou zijn. Er is ook geen schaduw op het plein, men stond uren naar de keizer te luisteren en als er ene zou bewegen dan zie je dat direct aan de schaduw en rondom rond stonden scherpschutters die iedereen in 't oog hielden. En nu is het 32° dus stilstaan is niet te doen!
      Er staat een kraanvogel voor lang leven en een draak die op een schildpad lijkt, de draak voor de keizer en de schildpad een lang leven. De drie samen willen zeggen 'lang leve de keizer'.
      De beeldjes op de daken zijn beschermers, hoe meer beschermers hoe belangrijker de persoon.
      Het middelste gebouw is de kleedkamer, en erachter de repetitieruimte. En het keizerlijk examen werd hier gehouden.
      Dan verlaten we het werkgeheugen en begint het privegedeelte. De keizer en de keizerin hadden ieder hun eigen paleis. De keizer had verschillende concubines, de keizerin moet dit maar tolereren. Soms werd een kind van een concubine zelfs keizer. Al ze te oud werden dan gingen ze naar een soort gevangenis achterin de verboden stad omdat zij zeker geen man meer zouden hebben.
      De totale oppervlakte is in de eeuwen niet veranderd, er werden wel gebouwen afgebroken en nieuwe heropgebouwd.
      We bezoeken het huis van de keizerin moeder Cho chi. Het enige dat nog van binnen te zien is. De grote vaten zijn eigenlijk brandblussers, er brandt in de winter altijd vuur onder omdat je met ijs geen brand kan blussen.
      We bezoeken tenslotte de plaats van de concubines, zij woonden met twee bijeen. Ze hielden zich bezig met handwerken en babbelen. Zij werden over heel China gekozen door bedienden en moesten ongeveer dezelfde lichaamsbouw hebben, gemiddeld waren zij 13 jaar, als ze geronseld werden. Als hij zin had naar de concubine dan koos de keizer er een uit via een pot met stokjes met de namen van de concubines, de eunuch zette een rode lantaarn voor de deur van de gekozen concubine, ze werd gebaadt en volledig geschoren en naakt ging ze naar de keizer zijn bed hij had 40' om zich met de concubine bezig te houden onder toezicht van de eunuch. Maar sommige meer viriele keizers hadden meerdere concubines op één avond.
      Arme landbouwers met meerdere zonen konden deze kandidaat laten stellen als eunuch, zij werden op jonge leeftijd gecastreerd van hun drie delen, penis en de twee teelballen. Deze werden afgehakt en gemummificeerd omdat zij geloven in reïncarnatie en men wou in het volgende leven wel terug volledig zijn.
      De bedienden woonden in de hutons die buiten rond de verboden stad liggen.
      Hutongs zijn huisjes in grijze baksteen met doorgaans maar één verdieping gebouwd rond een binnenplaats met een boom in het midden. (Meer uitleg bij de weetjes!)
      En eens we Tianamen, de verboden stad, verlaten rijden we langs de nog bestaande hutons naar een shopping mall waar we de laatste souveniertjes kunnen kopen. Onderweg worden de oortjes van het speakersysteem opgehaald.
      We worden voor 1,45 u losgelaten tot ergernis van de meeste mannen!
      Ik zoek nog een mooie paraplu die zowel voor zon als voor regen kan dienen. Gelukkig had Jacques gezegd dat we sterk moesten afdingen. De vraagprijs op het etiket was 391 yuan, de verkoopster zakte met vraagprijs 'special offer' naar 280 yuan, en ik bood 20 yuan! Onderweg had ik parasols gezien tussen 20 en 30 yuan maar niet zo'n mooie.
      Zij zakte naar 120 en ik bleef bij mijn 20, ik maakte aanstalten om door te gaan en ze zakte naar 90 ik ging naar 30 dan zij naar 50 om samen te eindigen op 45 yuan! Goede aankoop zelfs als hij niet zo goed is als bij ons, 't is een mooike!
      Terug in de bus rijden we naar een acrobatenshow langs de diplomatenwijk, omdat we maar mondjesmaat vooruitkomen kunnen we de ambassades goed zien, de Belgische ligt in een achteraf straatje en zien we niet.
      De acrobatenshow is echt Cirque de soleil, je kan het niet uitleggen je moet het zien, het spectaculairste waren 8 motoren in een bol!
      Daarna gingen we eten bij Morel een oud PIVA leerling die in België enkele 3 sterrenrestaurants heeft gehad maar hier een vrouw gevonden heeft. We eten biefstuk uit Mongolië, door Morel zelf gekweekt om zeker onze Belgische kwaliteit te hebben.
      Achterin de bus kleden de dames zich om om fris aan tafel te verschijnen.
      Daarna is het recht naar de luchthaven om morgen vroeg in België aan te komen.

      Beijing

      October 1, 2017 in China ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Well not much sleep was had on this train. But it didn’t help I was sleeping with my backpack, doesn’t cuddle very much. But I made it alive and well into Beijing so you can’t really ask for more than that.

      I decided to take the subway to my hotel since it was the cheapest and most direct way. I wasn’t too sure about the public transit because the bus in Xian didn’t have English on its signs, but because this was now Beijing And there was English I thought I would be ok. And I was.

      The subway was super easy. I already knew where I had to go and which lines to change to so I was amply prepared. The train cost a whopping 4 Yuan, which was less than $0.75 Canadian ... bank breaker, Huh!!

      The train was pretty modern. It had a cool map on it for the route, a tv by every second door, and a nice announcer who spoke in Mandarin and English. It was pretty easy and a smooth ride. I did get a few stares not sure If because I’m white, had curly hair or looked crazy lol.

      Eventually I made it to my stop Chongwenmen, and there were four exits from the subway so I picked one. It turned out to be diagonally away from my hotel, so I had to cross a couple massive roads ... when I say cross, I mean run in between cars as they try to hit you I’m the crosswalk.

      The hotel was fantastic, they let me check in super early. My room is on the 6th floor at the front of the building, which is cool for the view but horrible for the noise.
      Since I was expecting a roommate I tried to keep as neat as possible (spoiler, never got one!!), but I needed to get my crap organized so out it came. Clothes, souvenirs, etc. but I did get it organized so yay me.

      I FaceTimed mom, and sent a few messages out, but my next priority was ... A HOT SHOWER. And this hotel delivered. The shower had so much pressure, and was hot, it was heaven. I didn’t want to leave.

      I tried to decide what I wanted to do that day, and I had a long list to accomplish, and said screw it and went to the zoo. I needed to grocery hunt first, since I knew nothing in the area I walked around and found “Beijing’s Best Bakery”, and it didn’t disappoint. I got some pizza thing, OJ, Panda Cookies, and Coconut Cookies. Everything was delicious. I kept the cookies to snack on throughout the day and the trip.

      I hopped back on the subway and went to the Beijing Zoo.

      So I’ll be honest here, I’m not a fan of zoos or aquariums unless they are rehabilitation centers or where if the creatures were in the wild they wouldn’t survive. I don’t want to pay to see an animal treated poorly, and yanked from their home and families. And I hadn’t heard good things about the Beijing Zoo, but I wanted to see those Giant Pandas, badly

      So when I arrived I was actually impressed with the Zoo. It was relatively clean, and the enclosures were definitely needed. People complain about them, but really they were for the animals safety since the people were so disrespectful to them. I could see the people climbing in to get those pictures, or their kids and getting attacked. We don’t need another Harambe incident.

      The Giant Pandas were cute and had a few different enclosures. It was neat getting to watch them just chill out and eat bamboo, or sleep. I really just wanted to give them a hug.
      I went through the rest of the Zoo and saw: wolves, birds, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, bears, polar bears, golden monkeys, and more ...but they had one place that brought out the child in me, Penguinland.

      There were a few different species that I hadn’t seen before, the only one I had was the African, and that’s from the Vancouver Aquarium. It was a pretty expansive enclosure, but the penguins weren’t too active which was normal. It was still pretty awesome to see them, and see a few new species.

      I checked out a few other exhibits, but to be honest I saw what I wanted to and opted to leave. Before I left I did send myself a postcard from the Zoo, I wasn’t able to send one from Xian so I figured this would do just as well.

      I made my way back to subway, and back to the hotel. I decided to wander around the area and see a little bit. I found a Starbucks and picked up a mug and a local drink. It was a black currant raspberry tea ... it was different, but tasty.

      I went back to my room to chill out for a bit before the meeting that night. And it was nice just to relax a bit.

      At 6 I went down and met my group, I was the baby of the group. All were older, couples, and a few singles, but it looks like a good group. Our CEO is Alex, from Russia. And I think he’s going to do great on this trip. After our meeting, we decided to have a group dinner at our own cost. It was the best food I’ve had the entire trip. We had duck, chicken, dumplings, etc. and it was all fantastic.
      After we all went to the grocery store, and picked up breakfast since we wouldn’t be able to have it before leaving tomorrow. We head off at 6 am for the Great Wall, and I can’t wait.

    • Day 6

      The Great Wall and Beijing

      October 2, 2017 in China ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Today I climbed The Great Wall of China.

      I had a rough start to the day, my alarm didn’t go off. I woke up at 7 minutes to 6, and we were to promptly leave at 6. Luckily, I had already laid my clothes out and was prepared. I was out the door in 5 minutes, and at the bus by 6. And I wasn’t even the last one.

      It was supposed be to take over two hours for us to get to the Wall, but our bus driver made it there in one hour, fifteen minutes. We were impressed.
      We had to take a shuttle bus from the parking lot, which required us to walk through a shopping village. At this time of day it was empty and desolate which was quite peaceful.

      We had a few options to get to the Wall, take a cable car, or walk the pathway. I purchased the cable car option, I wanted to save my energy for the way. This would take us up to tower 14 and from my research I knew that walking towards tower 20 would be the most challenging but also the most beautiful. It’s also the most authentic part of the Wall.

      We all separated our ways and ventured up different ways, but eventually we all almost crossed paths.

      The Wall definitely was challenging at some points, I decided that I wanted to go up to tower 20, I just broke it down and took rest breaks, but I was determined to do it. There were points I was almost crawling, but I did it. It was amazing. This was such a fantastic sight to marvel.

      It was a structure that I had to soak up. I took breaks between the towers, and just looked around at where I was and where I was standing. I thought about the people who built this, how many died, and how they built something without the technology we have today. It really made me think and appreciate where I was, it was humbling.

      Now by making it to tower 20 my legs were already jelly, and I realized that I had to make it back. And the stairs to leave tower 20 were enough to make your legs shake. I descended down sideways since the steps were so uneven going down backwards I was likely to miss a step and plummet to my death or severe injury. Slowly but surely I made it down.

      The walk back was just as nice and tiring. It also started to rain so we were getting cold too. It was busier at this time too, so we had to share the Wall with more people. This meant, waiting and pushing and shoving, so the usual.
      We eventually made our way out and to the cafe where part of the group was. Some ventured down earlier whereas some opted to stay on the Wall and jump the barrier to the higher towers. We sat down and rested a bit before heading back down.

      At the bottom I decided to grab a sandwich from subway since I only had a quick pastry breakfast on the way there. I also did pick up a bamboo portrait of the Great Wall, and had my name and date engraved on it. I plan to frame it when I get home.

      We made our way back to the shuttle, and then to the bus to head back to the hotel. By this time the Wall was already getting super busy, so I’m glad we had an early morning to experience a practically empty Wall, and be able to go as far as we did.

      The rest of today was really overshadowed by this morning. I’m still reflecting on how amazing it was, and that I’m here and climbed it. I’m very fortunate and feel so lucky to have done so.

      I’ll be honest I haven’t done much today afterwards, except go shopping for some small souvenirs for myself and friends. Yes Samantha, I did pick something up for you 😜
      Oh and I went to the grocery store. I’m slowly building a stockpile of food, and the hotel gives free bottled water so I’m hoarding what I can. Tomorrow will be grocery hunting day though because the day after is train day!!!!! First leg is 40 hours. I’m charging my power bank up to get it ready for that adventure.

      Off to dinner ... Alex has got something wicked planned, and he mentioned Scorpion Bowls?!?!?

      Evening update: no scorpion bowls were had, it was actually deep fried scorpions, yup. I ate two, and they were quite crunchy and tasty. And apparently starfish taste like ocean that was pissed in, and anything that is good is now “fucking delish” preferably said with an Irish accent.

      Parting with Peking Duck

      September 13, 2017 in China ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

      Our final full day in Beijing, spent mostly being lazy and getting ourselves sorted for Frankfurt. Changed some money over at a bank. An interesting process involving passport and about 40min - but no commission and a good rate so that's good...

      Couldn't leave Beijing without trying the famous local specialty (Peking Duck). Hotel restaurant was closed so followed directions to a nearby restaurant - no idea of the name but the Mandarin characters looked similar to what the concierge wrote. Glad we did. Was delicious!

      Crispy roast duck with shallot and cucumber strips, delicious barbecue-like sauce and duck soup. The nice waitress showed us how to make little wraps from the thin tortilla-like things and was so good. Would definitely recommend.

      Cheap too - about $23 for a half duck between the two of us. Definitely worth the hype!
