1st day:
WELCOME TO BEIJING! :))))) The airport is wonderful! It is larger than T3. Did I mention that it is the airport which occupies the most amount of space? Could I possibly be standing on the exact spot that Phelps did?? omgomg. The excitedness.
The hotel (Crowne Plaza international) - look at the stuff it offers. haha peanuts, tea,coffee, chocolates, liquor and more (ahem).
The comfortable queen sized bed.
With an attached phone and working area.
The toilet?
The toiletries. I know, I must be crazy taking pictures of these. haha.
Random picture of a tree on the streets. 
Inside some restaurant: 
Look at the wide selection of seafood!
You can even find this in a restaurant. Anyway, I think Beijing restaurants are wonderful. Each have their own unique theme.
The entrance of 天坛
Inside.
Magnificent!
The spot where my sis and I were standing is where the emperor used to stand!! WE are two little empresses on that day.
Tian an men square 天安门广场. Freaking cold weather on that day!!!! it is minus 9!! I never felt so much like a slab of frozen meat before! It is hard being a piece of frozen meat! 真是寒风刺骨啊！You can see Mao zedong's picture behind (vaguely). haha. I don't look like myself in this pic! Wonder if cold wind distort one's features? hmmmm.
Another random pic of a tree again. loveeee treees. pretty yar?
This used to be a part of Forbidden city.
To make a fullstop to my first day, we went to watch some acrobat show, which is kind of nice, but I keep falling asleep during the show because the music was so hypnotic and I barely sleep on the plane.
2nd day:
Stoning - caught. Anyway we are outside Forbidden City. 故宫
午门。For dragging people out to be executed.
Why did I cover my face??
The path where women walk. All the concubines etc.
A special tree. The two trees are connected. Just like a couple holding hands. 
The beautiful ceiling.
Hungry. Having icecream that won't melt! Winter is wonderful for icecreams!!! :DDD 
The summer palace.
Beijing at night. No night life. No cars.
Well, might as well look at some lightings. haha. Bird cube. 水丽方
The famous bird nest. 鸟巢
3rd day:Breakfast. All of us look so glum.
The highway.
Another 世界之最。最多明朝皇帝埋葬的地点 - 十三陵
The tombs are made of nan mu. Which is really rare.
The tour guide ask us to take lesser photos of the emperor's tombs so we didn't. We are supertitious Chinese.
Next up, we went to the Great Wall of China!! And the guide told us that it is completely rubbish to think that from the moon, we can see this wall. haha. 长城. I look ready to climb!
Prior to climbing. Look at those locks! They are placed there by couples. They say that if you put those locks along the great wall, then you will be together forever. Couples, you hear?
Taking a rest on the steps. Apparently, u can't smoke on the Great wall. lol!
Climbing.
The horrible steps. I wonder what 古人look like. cos those steps are twice as high as normal steps! and half as narrow! They must have long legs and small feet -.-
The locks revisited. I found them so interesting! 
At night, we had dinner at the famous 同仁堂. I tell you, inside is super super big and magnificent!! Exactly like those period time banquet courts. Wow wow and wow!!!! Why singapore dun have??
After dinner, went to wanfujing streets to shop. It's super cold. We saw these statues and took pics. haha.
Did they kope the xmas tree from Orchard??
A beautiful church.
Inside the hotel. haha. My snoopy sweater is so cutsey!
4th day: 
Inside. The girls sleep on the East side and boys on the West. The chinese really believe in 男左女右
Out of hutong. Along the streets.
Riding a trishaw is nice.
Next up, the gu lou. 鼓楼
Beijing roast duck for lunch! Nice and succulent. Chopping up the duck.
At night, shopping at the cheap cheap, bargain-ful 秀水街. Winter wear here is cheap cheap! And you can bargain till siao..
Taking pics at the Place. They call it the place with most TV screens. nice.
The pandas used their butt to face us!!!???
The emo panda.
The greedy panda. you can barely see its body.
Bamboo shoots behind. food for the panda.
After visiting the cuties, we went to to Deshengmen! 得盛门
Took pics with the canon on top.
