We arrive Suzhou!

When leaving Beijing, stayed at Shanghai for 2 days, right now we arrive Suzhou, a beautiful and typical Chinese city.

Shanghai is a much more modernized city out of most of our surprises. We enjoy shopping and acrobatics.

The first tour day!

Today, we have city tour.

We went to the temple of heven. Other than the magnificent ancient pagoda,pict3145.JPGpict3170.JPGpict3169.JPG the living脗 attitude of local senoirs impresses us much. They were singing, dancing and exercising there happily, showing off their happiness and content of their lives.

We went to Tian’an’men Squarepict3187.JPGpict3198.JPG, Forbidden City. This time, hahaha… Canadians realized what the most populous country means, cause 6 people got lost in different places at different moment. It was so crowded there, but I still have to emphasize again: Please stick with the group all the time, even though, you maybe attract by many fresh, unfamilial things.pict3144.JPG

And we took a pedicab exploiting the traditional Beijing small alley – “HUTONG”pict3265.JPG. We got more ideas about what the Beijing humble life used to be. I am so happy to hear one脗 say脗 she loves the supper tonight,脗 which just likes another meal made by her brother. Tonight, we have a supper at the local nomal resident house in HUTONGpict3282.JPG, so close to the everyday life of local residents.

Even though we went to many places, at night, we went to see the Beijing operapict3317.JPGpict3319.JPGpict3328.JPG. Frankly speaking, I fell a sleep during the show. I do be tired in locating my group today! Out of my surprise, most of the group is so energetic and enjoy the show from the beginning till the end!

Ok man, keep going, tomorrow will be another day, we are going to visit the Great Wall.

P.S. Today we had a beautiful day, we got blue sky and white clouds, which is quite quite rare in Beijing! So wonderful, now I pray for another beautiful day tomorrow!

We are here @ Beijing.

We finally arrive Beijing, the capital of P.R.China. 13-hour flight is not a short journey, we traveled half the globe, from Montreal to Newark, from Newark to Beijing.pict3107.JPGpict3108.JPGpict3111.JPG

We all like the hotel and food here.pict3125.JPGpict3126.JPGpict3127.JPGpict3128.JPGpict3129.JPGpict3130.JPGpict3131.JPGpict3132.JPGpict3133.JPGpict3135.JPGpict3137.JPG
