I became a contributing writer to Suite101.com in December 2008, and post articles on travel in China on a regular basis.Here's a list of the articles I've posted on Beijing so far:
- Great Wall of China
- How to avoid the crowds of tourists at Badaling Great Wall
- The ever-popular Beihai Park, which is a favorite of mine
- Four must-see sites in Beijing: Great Wall, Summer Palace, Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City
- The Summer Palace, a gorgeous park which is another favorite of mne and a must-see for visitors to Beijing
- Tian'anmen Square, one of the must-see places to visit in Beijing
- The Forbidden City, located across the street from Tian'anmen
- Fun and free things to do in Beijing
- Expanded subway system makes it easier to move around Beijing
- The Soong Ching Ling House offers peace and quiet on the banks of upper Houhai Lake. Soong was the widow of Sun Yat-Sen, and a noted personality in her own right.
- Beijing Aquarium
- Tips for coping with the language barrier
- Panjiayuan flea market is Beijing's biggest and best flea market. It's also known as the Dirt Market because at one time it was located in a big dirt field.
Here's a couple of stories I've posted so far for travel elsewhere in China:
- Shanghai Motorcycle Market is a good place to get parts for Chinese motorcycles and scooters which are becoming increasingly popular in the United States because of their low prices.
- Yixing teapots are made from a special clay which absorbs the flavor of the tea. We visited here last year on an overnight trip from Shanghai.
The above stories are short, because that's the way Suite101 wants them. I look at them as teasers, to be expanded on my growing website, Cheryl's China.
Stay tuned because there are more stories to come!
