They have guarded their ancient card secrets for centuries. Rekrul can't win at an average Chinese table no matter how many fake tells and bluffs he tries to pull so he blames them for being 'lucky' and 'unaware' | ||

It is so easy to get ripped off on the most mundane things. Anyways, definitely try and get as much food into you as humanly possible. It's a rare opportunity i guess visiting any country, to reap their delicacies. o and take care in traffic. it was pretty brutal in guangzhou. | ||

Seriously. Just don't respond to trolls and just post what you think is relevant to the topic. Responding to trolls derail a thread faster than the trolls themselves. | ||

Silk Street is really fun, but expect to get outbargained. Look out for a signboard that lists the top ten things for stallholders not to say to customers (if I remember correctly, includes insulting their mothers and manhoods). Da Dong Kao Ya Dian has nice Peking duck, expect to wait for a seat though. Quan Ju De is another famous one with outlets everywhere, though I find the duck fat, oily and not very nice at all. However, the decor is so tacky and the front desk staff's uniforms so pseudo 1850s you simply must see it. There are some nice legit massage places there as well. Free flow snacks and drinks and cable TV while teenagers from the countryside slave over your feet. Decadence for a pittance. As for the Great Wall, there are lots of sections open, from super crowded ones to "wild" sections where only the adventurous with strong legs go. | ||

If you're going to the Great Wall, walk from Jinshanling to Simatai. Repeat, start at JINSHANLING and end at SIMATAI. That's the best route to avoid traffic. Despite what someone else on here said, the different sections of the wall are NOT alike. Simatai is a pretty rough hike because it's the unrepaired part of the wall. AKA a lot of the steps are worn or broken up and you have to climb up and down big rock chunks and there are usually no crowds. When I was on the wall, I think I saw only 50 people total, and that was walking a stretch of maybe 15 - 20 km. Also, be careful on the wall. There are annoying old women wearing backpacks that will offer to "help" you in your hike along the wall. They try to guilt trip you and sell you crappy souvenirs at extortionist prices. Just say "BU YAO" and keep walking. Don't feel bad about being a little gruff. They can be very pushy and invasive. But god, the views... Some of the views on Simatai are just breathtaking. It's incredible looking down at the terrain and imagining what it would be like as some Mongol horse archer trying to get over the wall. (Would not be fun). They said the Great Wall was only a token resistance, kind of like an advance warning system, but it's still an impressive fortification. It would not have been an easy feat to get over the wall. And for shopping, personally I like Wangfujing market and shopping plaza a lot better. If you're a student of Chinese culture at all, you should definitely check out the MASSIVE like 4 story bookstore called Wangfujing Xinhua bookstore. If you want to check out a modern Chinese food court, take yourself to the Oriental Plaza Mall which is right around Wangfujing and go to the bottom floor. It's a little pricier than typical Chinese joints but they're more commercialized and English friendly. Warning, on really hot days it can start to feel stuffy. That mall doesn't seem to turn on their A/C -_-. But there's some cool little chain restaurants like Chamate (an upscale teahouse originally from Taiwan), a bakery called Bread Talk, which has some funkier breads than the typical Chinese bakery where everything is covered in red bean or pork floss, and a smattering of other different Chinese/Japanese cuisines. HF with your trip! I could probably help you out more if food is what you're interested in. I'm guessing you can already look up the basic shit like Tiananmen Square, Forbidden City, etc. If not, I could drop a post about those as well... | ||

Make sure you don't buy fake computer stuff though, they have fake shit everywhere. Clothes are relatively cheap in China, but if you live in Sri Lanka, they might be even cheaper so I dunno. Food there is great too, check out that one side street of like "xiao chi" (lit "small eats", like snacks). There's this like side street off of Wangfujing I think where they sell lamb-kabobs for like 1 RMB each amongst other things like scorpians and zhajiangmian. Also, try one of my favorite Chinese dishes, shuizhuyu, (lit. "water-cooked fish", it's really tender, spicy, and delicious). For breakfast, there's jianbingguozi, it's basically a savory crepe for like 15 RMB with crunchy stuff and sauce inside. The Beijing Zoo is pretty fun and they have lots of pandas :3 Internet cafes are hella cheap, like 10 RMB/hour or less I think. Some of them might ask for you to prove that you're 18 but just say you're a foreigner and they'll let you in. Or bring your passport. | ||
