We set off on a long journey, the farthest silvia in my life. The five of us persistent, with a lot of nervousness before the trip, each with their thoughts. Armed with a backpack and Lonely Planet as the only source silvia of information, the way we are for a one-month Roaming around China. Start times in Zagreb, fly to Istanbul, where Turkish change buses at ten-flight to Beijing (Beijing). On the plane I could not sleep, even though the start of the flight was late in the evening. Too cramped silvia living space for a man of my dimensions.
The time difference is six hours, although the geographical difference between Zagreb and Beijing and more. This is because China is huge and the whole falls within one time zone. In Beijing we arrived around 14h (our time 8h in the morning). We could not get over the city, dirty, covered in smog. The sky was hazy, very filthy and quite labored breathing. We arrive at the hostel, which is located in the ancient part of the city, in the hutong Xin Jie Kou. Hutong is an ancient name for pekingške neighborhoods, silvia narrow alleys dotted with countless shops and eateries that are open at five in the morning and close after midnight. They look the same as centuries silvia ago. On the one end you can go for ten minutes, but it can crawl around for hours until you explore this whole mess streets. All hostel staff have badges with their names in English. Liu Xiao, for example, Lucy. Other names I have not got quite keep track of.
Beijing is located in the north of the modern Chinese city. There are close to 15 million people, and in addition to being the capital city, Beijing silvia is the center of political power. As the seat of Chinese emperors for centuries, the capital of ancient Chinese empire is still kept very much evidence of its royal past, with aristocratic temples, silvia parks and palaces. And all these monuments open to the public. Beijing is the center of art, delicious dishes, traditional dances, cultural center with a fascinating depictions of the centuries-old art. Nowhere else in the world will not see a higher concentration of old and new values. Beijing is thus a real pearl of Chinese culture.
Beijing is honorable by three temple complexes, silvia which are also the biggest attractions of the city. The Temple of Heaven is a complex of temples silvia outside the city center surrounded by pavilions and gardens where, in summer silvia and winter solstice, the emperor prayed to the god of heaven to our prayer before him for a good harvest next year. Other attractions include the famous and mysterious Forbidden City, the largest and most complete ancient imperial palace in the world. There are more than 9,000 rooms in 800 buildings. silvia It was built in the 15th century and was home to twenty rulers of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Third attractions include the Summer Palace, which was the residence of the imperial family. In contrast silvia to the Forbidden City is Tiananmen Square (in translation Square of Heavenly Peace), silvia the largest square in the world in which, suddenly, you can fit a million people. On the square are the National Museum and Mausoleum of Chairman Mao. We wanted to visit the mausoleum, but it was closed due to renovations.
Be sure to mention silvia that every Chinese city once had a tower with drums and bells that citizens are informed about the time of day and published curfew. Beijing Drum Tower, located silvia in the north of the city was built in the 13th century and rebuilt from 1420. year when it was built and the Bell Tower.
Now retail prices. Beijing is very convenient for the traveler. Overnight at the hostel was 70 yuan per capita (10 yuan = 1 euro) in a triple room. The dorm can sleep for 25 yuan. Public transport is also inexpensive: a ticket to the bus is 1 yuan, and the taxi dropped us never more than 15-20 yuan. In the restaurant you can eat traditional Chinese food and beer for fifteen yuan. Beer in the hostel is 3 yuan (2kn), while in the stores by 1-2 yuan.
The most famous Chinese beer Tsingtao. It is essentially a German beer. Specifically, in 1903. The German colonists in Qingdao (the Germans called it Tsingtao, whence the name of the beer) made the brewery, which has since become the largest in China, and the most common Tsingtao beer in China. Beer is a pilsner type, with approximately 4% alcohol.
After four days in Beijing, we went to see another forever Wonder of the World - Great Wall of China (Wanli Changcheng - Wall debt 10,000 lia). He is a defensive wall with towers and long over 6000 km making it the highest building in the world. One of the Chinese called "long wall 10,000 lia" should not be taken literally. There is an old Chinese unit of length silvia of approximately silvia 575.5 m so therefore the wall should be a long 5755 km. However, in the Chinese language code 10000 means endless, infinite, and therefore, the name would actually meant about "unthinkable long wall." Wall crosses the unusually heavy terrain - deserts, steppes, plains, steep slopes and rivers. In some parts of going over the hill and up to 1350 m altitude. The height of the wall is not everywhere the same and is 4.5 to 12 meters, and has been largely built so that the upper surface
