mga sis, can u help me if coming from xiamen, papunta ng shenzen pano po? kasi we plan to go to shenzen then after shenzen, exit na going to hk or macau. ano po ba best itinerary? pls help.

[heaven_scent102]

for us puede na 28k per pax kasi kung kami lang ni hubby mag DIY kami but this tour kasi we are with my 60y.o mom

kaya mas gusto niya yung lahat tour na since pag tour may car lagi from one place to another, save the energy for walking sa tourist spots 28k kasama na novotel accomodation, cathay pacific airfare, tour sa makjor attractions and yun nga meals kasama sa tour

[zhanne8]

and any suggestion po sa cheap hotel or hostel in shenzhen? complete name and address with phone number please?

* You can go shopping sa Silk street - wala sya sa agenda nyo, tama ba?  Dito lahat ng fake brands! haha  Sobrang mura, just know how to haggle. Dapat magtawad ka ng sobrang baba. Pag um-oo agad sila, that means hindi pa enough ang tawad mo. Pag nagalit, alam mong tama na.   What I do normally, nagtatanong ako sa 3 stalls muna (pare pareho naman binebenta nila), then pag alam ko na gusto ko, sa 4th stall tatawad nako and gauge how low puede yung price.  I do not normally buy the bags (pero there are pretty ones), pero sobra akong aliw sa mga winter coats nila. Kasi feeling ko for us nasa tropical weather naman tayo, no need to buy yung mamahalin talaga kasi hindi naman madalas gamitin.

* In one of the nights din, ok din manood ng kungfu show.

* You can also try the other segments of Great Wall

* Pansin ko sa tour ninyo, sa labas lang kayo ng watercube and bird's nest. you might want to go inside on your last day.  Maganda din to go sa watercube (outside) at night. Not sure din kung sa tour ninyo na-andun kayo til night time, if not, a good time to spend your afternoon inside the bird's nest/watercube (1-2 hours) then nasa labas kayo sa hapon. So you can target mga 3pm kayo andun - not sure lang what time dumidilim around May sa Beijing. Paiba iba kasi. 

You can also ask your tour guide din for alternatives what to do on the last day.

by the way - may ma-recommend kayo na resto for the best peking duck in beijing?

naghahanap kasi ako ng value for money. yung mga ibang na-recommend for tourists kasi sobrang over-rated.

[sweetviolet]

me and hubby went to Mutianyu Great wall, shopping at Silk street. i bought a real nice jade necklace na mickey mouse face shape  na super bargain sa jade factory. sa peking duck naman, maraming stores na nagbebenta ng whole duck na naka vacuum sealed and in fairness masarap!

[mama squeak!]

If everything works out I might be able to go with hubby again to Beijing this coming May. Sana matuloy kasi bitin-bitin ikot namin last time. At least it won't be very cold as last time, mas enjoy mamasyal. We hope to go see the Summer Palace this time around.

 

[heaven_scent102]

lapit na kami mag beijing, may 4-8 hindi ako makadecide what clothing to wear, sa accuweather.com ang forecast kasi mga 25 ave eh ano kaya tingin nyo?

[mama squeak!]

^Just bring a light jacket, para na lang naka-aircon yung temperature.

 

[eang]

just came back from beijing. sarap mag shop sa beijing, don't waste your time on silk market and ya xiu market, pang foreigners lang yan and super markup prices. dumiretso na kayo sa beijing underground market! dun kumukuha ng paninda ang mga taga silk market. may mga factory overruns dun, may fake, so dapat medyo alisto kayo sa quality and price. I was able to buy MNG, ZARA, bershka, pull n bear. May converse shoes din. If you have a map, it is right across beijing zoo, the name in chinese pinyin is "ju long". dami mabibili dun.

We also spent our last day shopping at "Tian Yi" sa may fuchengmen, nako, dito you can spend your whole day, kase ang dami talaga, per floor iba ibat klase ng tinda. may mga korean stuff(stationery, notepads, etc). may figurines/display, may isang floor puro toys, may isang floor puro hair accessories. and may appliances, household items. parang 168 pero mas maraming selections. kulang oras ko dito sa dami ng mabibili. hehe
