How to get around China’s second largest city, Beijing
Nowadays, with a population of 15 millions of people that live and gravitate around it, Beijing is China's second largest city after Shanghai.
Whereas Shanghai and Hong Kong predominate in the economic field, Peking is widely recognized as the political, educational and cultural centre of the Country, with a jurisdiction over 18 districts and counties. To get around this metropolis you might find useful these brief suggestions on public transports once you land there.
Public Bus and trolley Bus: you need to keep in mind some numbers. Buses Nos. 1-200 and trolley buses run in the city ( 1 yuan per person); buses Nos. 201-212 run at night; buses Nos. 300-599 go to the suburbs, charging according to the distance covered. Air conditioned buses starting with n. 8 are charged according to the distance covered. They usually run through the bustling streets. Buses starting with n. 6 go to the residential areas…and so on. (for details see bjbus.com).
Beijing Capital International Airport (010 645 63 604) is one of China's major gateways. It is 28 km from the city centre, about 40 minutes' ride by car. Taxi costs about 100 yuan.
There are 4 railways stations in the city: Beijing Railway Station (ph. 5101 99 99), Beijing West (the largest; ph: 5182 6253), South (ph: 63030031) and North Railway stations. Passengers may buy train tickets from the ticket offices 10 days in advance or book by phone ( ph. 010- 51827188 from 9am-9pm every day) or internet (036.com.cn ) 5 to 11 days in advance.
There are 3 different types of taxi charges (1.2, 1.6, and 2 yuan per kilometer) and they are very convenient to explore the city. ( Call the taxi centre: 010- 683 73399)
Subway: 4 lines criss-cross the city of Beijing . Line 1, Line 2, Line 13 and Batong line. The latter two are city rails. They run from 5am till approximately 10 or 11 in the night. Subway entrances feature a gray cement structure with a symbolized lamp box. A one-way ticket is about 3-5 yuan.
Bikes and bikes! As always we cannot avoid mentioning a healthy, environmentally friendly, convenient, economical, safe and fun means of travel transportation and recreation! The bike! China truly is the ‘Bicycle Kingdom’, producing and using more bicycles than any other nation in the world. Cycling in China is a kind of life style for the Chinese people. Don’t forget that in the traffic and in the narrow alleys of the Hutongs bikes are the best means to explore the city and is a super-individual way of transport by your own pace! Try companies like The Bicycle Kingdom to rent your own bike.
Also, to avoid long stressful researches on where to go and what to do, here we have highlighted for you some of the central Beijing districts divided by main interest. Haidian District is home of China's Silicon Valley -Zhongguancun- and 39 universities including Beijing, Tsinghua and Renmin Universities, so basically good for shopping feaver. Xuanwu District is a good area for everything related to traditional medicine whilst the Chaoyang District is the 798 Art District and flea market district. Dongcheng District is an area where many nice backpackers youth hostels are located. Just to mention some names: the 9 dragons youth hostel, Beijing City Central youth Hostel, the Courtyard Hotel, Beijing Harbour Inn Hostel, the Saga youth Hostel, the Beijing New Dragon Hostel.
Xicheng District hosts some public parks as the Beihai park, Jingshan Park, Yuetan Park and the Beijing Zoo. In the area the famous Zhongnanhai and the popular Houhai bar . If you like this ‘green’ area, we also suggest a very nice boutique value hotel nested in an hold traditional hutong called the Spring Garden Courtyard Hotel. A hotel in a Chinese traditional, deluxe courtyard, comprises a autumn and a spring garden offering a unique cultural connotation. In fact, each of the rooms introduces you to the life of different distinguished emperors in Chinese history and the dynasties that they lived in. In the multifunction hall, there are approximately one hundred photos with English translations depicting Beijing (Peking) past. These include places of interest, culture, religion, and every day life in the city. There is also a staff member available to answer questions and explain the 800 years of Beijing history).
Other central location districts are: Fengtai District; Shijingshan District; Chongwen District.

Extravagant city break in London
London, with its 32 districts and 7 million inhabitants from the four corners of the world, is a real multicultural metropolis where a total of over 300 languages are spoken and all the world’s religions represented!
London is so vast that would require a lot of time to explore it in-depth given the richness and diversity it has to offer. But there are some good news for a traveller wishing to spend a brief holiday, or a city break during the week end.
Firstly you can count on valid public transportations. Secondly get the LONDON A-Z, a pocket-sized map book available at any newsagent. You can find anything from events, night life, hot spots for young travellers, backpackers information, choice of entertainment from drag acts to comedy from dance clubs to classical music. There are some other informative magazines you can usually find for free in the hotels halls. If you are in London but don’t know where to go sleeping or you still don’t have an accommodation do not expect to find it cheap. London, with its Pounds can be very expensive even to a European citizen! Apart from hotels which can have 3 to 5 starts but still don’t reach that standard, there is an unlimited numbers of Bed and breakfast ( see for the B&B sign) at private homes. It has been a long tradition and London is the capital of BandB accommodation providers! Usually they are run by families that guest travellers in their own house to get an extra income. It’s a good option in order to get an insight of how a real Londoner lives. In this way it is also very easy to contract the price especially if you ask for continental breakfast and not English breakfast ( bacon and eggs…which can be quite strong at 8 am…): there could be a difference of 2-3 pound per person…And if you sum it all up, well, you might save enough for a dinner out!
There are many possible ways for you to book a B&B in London. Either you go to a tourist office at the very last minute while in London but you may not wish to risk for a last minute accommodation… or find online your perfect accommodation solution. There are quite a lot booking and informative sites: some of them only list the London BB and provide you with phone number but then you have to spend quite a fortune in international calls; some others allow you to book online directly and get your confirmation straight away (ex. Flashbooking.com) some others offer accommodation on request and it could take longer then expected. A list of cheap Bed and breakfast in London is provided by the mentioned website that is specialized in budget accommodation or lodging for families, international students and backpackers. Apart from B&B there are also youth hostels listed. Prices range very from 15 euros in a hostel to 33 euros per person in a double private room in a London B&B. The choice is up to you.
So, you got in London-UK, you got the A-Z map and some good city magazines, you got a cheap accommodation ( which will probably serve you only as a base to explore the city), now it’s time to get out and have fun!!! You might not want to spend the whole day in a museum especially if the day offer a sun beam through the fog… right? Here 3 nice things to do.
You can visit the Kew gardens with their historic green-houses. Very relaxing and interesting. Nice for kids as well and for photographers!! There is a vast assortment of flora gathered from around the world to admire and they often organize many special activities and tours for children ( ex: the ‘Cactus Trail, ‘Climbers and creepers’, etc. ) To get there use the Tube; stop: Kew Bridge. The Gardens are open every day EXCEPT Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. ( www.rbgkew.org.uk; email: info@kew.org or ph: +44 (20) 8332 5655 ) .
Another quite and typical area of London where you can have lunch and do shopping is Covent Gardens. Events and celebrations are hold all through the year and the daily routine includes street entertainment performances seven days a week. Also, Covent Garden is the right place to find the hippest clothes shops! In the area there are many famous European theatres, museums, galleries too. So that in and around Covent Gardens there is always a lot to see and do!! Another fun thing and not too classic tour in Lodnon would be a visit to the London Zoo in Regent’s Park, NW1 (ph: +44 (20) 772233 33; www.londonzoo.co.uk) reachable with the Tube and stop at Camden Town. You will need to walk for 10 minutes only then to reach the entrance. Or the Natural History Museum ( Cromwell Road, SW7, ph. +44 (20) 794 250 00 www.nhm.ac.uk) Tube stop: South Kensington on District, Circle and Piccadilly lines.
