The East West Loop
|
The east to West Loop is and exciting cross through almost the width of town. Where we will see a diverse version of Beijing from the East to the less developed West. we will see various hutongs even ones that are one the verge of being knocked down. The actual first prime minster used to live in this temple complex set up. Previously the city had 13500 of these complexes, and now they only have around 250 left. The set ups are superb and its very cool to see how small and tiny the living quarters are. Also we see some of the first higher apartments of the modern development. The tour provides a wide range of sights and with the stories this is a must do trip
Highlights - the second embassy area, - Zhihua temple - through hutong living quarters - National Art Museum and Red Building (where Chairman Mao used to be the librarian) - the North wall of Forbidden City - Through the lake area - a Roman Catholic Cathedral, - Guangjisi and Baitaisi (buddhism temples) - a colorful historic shopping street - the lakes and back through Beijing roads rather small or main roads can be decided |
