Summer Palace 頤和園

頤和園

長廊

A classic view in the Summer Palace - Long Corridor 石舫

Another classic view - Marble Boat
影石舫易, 加個人難
Shooting the boat is easy, adding a person is difficult

園內有很多這種石頭

Rare Stones in the garden

頤和園較冷門的一角

Rare corners, sitting on a door bar - too tired

頤和園較冷門的另一角

延年井

Another rare corner - Longevity Well

這邊都有紅葉, 不讓香山專美

Notice the red leaves here?

Breakfast at the courtyard, very relaxing 庭院細細地，都幾清幽

The garden is very nice
房間陳設非常古典
Very traditonal interior design

However the room is not big enough

Very traditional main entrance
由外至內都咁古典

坐落市中心三井胡同

Situated in a hutong within the Beijing city

坐庭院休息吓都吾錯

Sitting outside our room

要走十分鐘胡同至到大街

Has to walk for 10 minutes from hutong to main street

恭王府四川飯店 Oct 16, 2008

Sichuan Restaurant situation at the Prince Gong Palace is my most favourite Sichuan restaurant in Beijing. The smok duck here is of course the best and one of most beloved Sichuan dish. I come here specifically for the smoke duck. Extremely yummy.

不遠千里而來, 都只為了這兒的樟茶鴨 I come here specifically for the smoke duck. Extremely yummy.

Everyone visiting Beijing should try this dish.

四川飯店樟茶鴨, 味道不同凡響

68元半隻 (RMB68 half duck)

Mafo Tofu - very authentic Sichuan taste

麻婆豆付, 正宗四川風味 - 麻辣夠刺激

Very authentic Sichuan dumplings and dan dan noodle.

龍抄手, 担担面, 好味道

Aqua Cube, Bird's Nest

Visit Olympic Venus - Aqua Cube, Bird's Nest

There are tons of people outside the Aqua Cub and Bird's Nest

水立方, 鳥巢

雖然奧運完了, 仍吸引不少遊人 人山人海, 要影張靚相都吾容易


一落車, 襯住陽光影番張水立方靚相先

Beijing sightseeing bus - Olympic Route

Badly managed.

Annoying noisy music, unprofessional guide.

Mandarin only, not biligual as advertised.

Someone cleaned the staircase while bus was running -

without aware that upper deck passengers will slip down !!

3rmb for whole journey

The only advantage is that the buses are new and clean

坐觀光巴士奧運線去參觀奧運景點
音樂炒耳兼討厭, 所謂的導遊敷衍塞責, 亦非雙語, 不知所為.

服務員更在行車期間清洗樓梯, 不怕滑倒樓上乘客.

勝在夠平, 全程三元

Hong Kong Outing - Beijing

Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square

Wonderful Views from Forbidden City 故宮/天安門

The moated Forbidden City

紫禁城條護城河, 倒影幾靚

我家姐好鐘意這幅相2008 Marathon starts at Tiananmen Square.

Just arrived on time to view the start.

出錯出口, 錯有錯著, 照相角度好, 成個天安門上晒鏡

Victoria Peak - Mid Autumn Festival Tour 2008

September 15, 2008 (Monday)

中秋節翌日，去山頂行大運．但係維修工程未做完，條路都仲係麻麻哋．
信不信由你，都中秋節啦，竟然仲34度，山頂果度連 D 狗仔都熱到伸埋條脷出來．

The day after Mid Autumn Festival is a public holiday.
We went to the Victoria Peak to have some fun - 34 degree.
Isn't it really mid Autumn?

Enjoy air-con at the Peak Galleria is a good idea.

都係去山頂廣場歎吓冷氣好ｄ
想去山頂餐廳食嘢，但個個位都咁熱．
結果去咗L16 食泰國餐，入到去至知原來同埋采蝶軒一黨．

我認為不論五星級酒店抑或快餐店，只要是出售食物圖利者，

都應把食物安排得妥善整齊才搬到人客面前，

我在太古廣場的采蝶軒吃過 junk food，

本來已經列入黑名單，不料又入咗黑店，食得吾開心，又貴，

食物又難睇又messy，服務又差，連清水都要４０元一樽．

總之一句講哂，從今之後，采蝶軒和L16，一併列入黑名單

Junk food at Zen/L16, lousy, messy, expensive, no air-con, poor service...

Wonderful tea set at the Orchid Restaurant at Tin Lok Lane

好彩落山之後，去飲番餐平靚正的下午茶，開心番哂．
就係去天樂里的雅苑餐廳食梳乎里．震撼性咁大個梳乎里，未食已經開心到見牙吾見眼．
平時２８元，下午茶時間２５元兼送飲嘢，真係好底好好味．
Shouffle usually costs $28. Tea time sells at $25 with free drink.
Very good deal, very yummy and very happy.
