Day 1 (19/09/07)
Upon arrival, met up with our representative for our 5days in BeiJing...went for Breakfast and start off our tour..Visitted Gu Gong, the Forbidden City. It was once home to the emporors and the largest and most complete palace existing in China and the largest in the world today, filled with magnificent buildings, structures, pavillions, and pagodas. Next, we proceeded to Tian An Men Square. I must say that the structures are really well build! Went for dinner followed by checking into our hotel rooms! and as the 3 of us, Cynthia, SiewLing and Me were sharing a room..we got the biggest room compared to the others who only had 2people in a room...we have a nice kitchen too! its almost like a apartment! haa`.. btw..the 3 of us are stucked to each other like glue throughout the whole trip...so when i say We..its likely to just be the 3 of us...Took a cab down to a shopping centre nearby...cant rmbr the name of it though...Shopped ard and went back to the Hotel nearby to continue shopping..then its back to the hotel, bath and knocked out!

Day 2 (20/09/07)
morning woke up..washed up..went down to have breakfast..embarked on a leisurely cruise to the Summer Palace that is located within a lovely 12th-century park, once the Empress Dowager CiXi's resort. Continued to the temple of Heaven Park, the largest temple complex in China. This was where the Mind and Qing emperors prayed to the heavens for peace and good harvests for the country. The Main building is a cluster of temples noted for their exquisite layers and unique structures. The Hall of Prayer for good harvest is a particularly interesting, lofty cone-shaped structure with triple eaves and a blue-tiled roof. after which went for dinner at a restarant tt resembles a palace! was pretty awesome i would say! =D and yet again its shopping after dinner~
