...in orderly fashion around the Summer Palace, near Beijing in China.
This was the first time I realised we were foreigners in their country. The little ones, were very amused at our small party of three Kiwi's (New Zealanders) and they showed us in no uncertain terms that we were a bit of a rarity when we visited, to learn more about their Chinese rulers' way of life.

It is a great big artifitial and there are small hills around it that are made from the ground removed from the lake. There are also some spectacular buildings built around the side that you can walk around. Once you have got to where you want to go you can get the boat back across the lake to the entrance or the small island in the middle of the lake. It is ...

I stayed at the Novotel Xinqiao, Beijing during a family trip to China's capital in February 2005. There were 3 of us in our party, and we had reserved 2 superior rooms for 6 nights. The total costs of this stay was a mere £360 (courtesy of ... more
This hotel captures true Englishness. Whether it be afternoon tea - complimented with the fantastic selection of cakes and cream teas, or the formality of a 5 course evening meal - this hotel offers it all.
There is a short 18-hole golf course, 2... more
