See also great wall and Terrocata Statues. Also when I was there taxi drivers spoke little if any english. Have a translator translate your hotel location and desinations into Chinese. Show this to the drivers. Also always bargain in the silk market-really bargain-1/4 to 1/3 the asking price seriously. Try to get on a tour package-most hotels offer these-saves lots of trouble. And eat the peking duck-Mmmmmmmmmm

If you like a beer go to San Li Tun (Bar Street)!

PeeJoe = Beer

KneeHow = hello

That should get you started

Must do: Forbidden city - English commentary by Roger Moore :o)

Smog is horrendous!

2 types of taxi - 60 + 90 I think they were. This is the tariff you pay. If there's only a couple of you get a 60.

Go to the wall - it's an hour or so drive. your hotel can organise this for you.

There are lots of markets to visit, but try to bargain down as much as 50%.

Food is pretty bland!
