November in Beijing is freeze for me, but i was so happy to visit by chance for the business trip. The meeting was held at Monday in the early November, so i decided to arrive in advance for exploring this ancient city. For rearching the related information by net and asked friends opinions, i decided to choose the hotel located in HuDun area , so that i could go around this area by foot easily. Bejiing is really a modern mixed with heritage city. Those old buildings located in several areas, but most of them still live by citizen. only just the building for travelling, HuDung is meanings the old districts which were used to live for the old Beijing people, now some of them disappeared for the reason of developing economics. It should be ... read more

On my way to home, the relaxing way is by walking throught Xin Yi district from Taipei city Hall station of MRT. Xin Yi district is the most populous area fulled with many department stores and 101 building . Unlike the most tourists done to shop at 101, i like to walk around the path between buildings where you could see lots of differnet styles of street artists. sometimes you will stop to listen their sweet songs with pure voice. Especially at Saturday night , you will see them with powerful and touching performance, that is definetly better than shopping only in 101.... read more

Ginguashi where is located the north part of Taipei with mountains closed to pacific ocean is my most favorous part of Taipei. It takes only 1 hour from Taipei city by public bus on the MRT ChungShia Fushing station with 95 NT .

Two weeks ago, we went to Danshui by MRT line to visit the houseshow center located in New Danshui city area, my friend's mom had ordered the new apartment which could face the ocean and had the hotspring system. i was also curious what they house will look like in future, so we decided to take a look at the sample house in the house company center. To provide the sample house and decoration to clients is the tradition in Taiwan for house companies to attract people to buy their apartment . We took the MRT- red line from Taipei main station to Danshui where is small , crowded but interesting with many different snacks on the street city. it took us 40 mins to the last MRT station.

Taitung, located in the east of Taiwan facing the pacific ocean and spetacular ocean mountains. The most convenient way to Taitung is by airplante , for 40 mins from Taipei. Or you could take the fast train(not high speed train) in east line to Taitung. it will spend you 4-5 hours from taipei. The view on train still is worthy seeing across ocean line and mountains. Taitung is really hot in summer with cloudless sky and blue ocean. also it is the hometown of aborigies. i live in city where there is a bicycle park closed to the ocean. You could rent the bycicle at the entrance of the park , and go around the park. that is really nice in the early morning to do so with fresh air. ... read more

For visiting Taipei, the first vehicle you will choose is MRT system for tourists. It is basically tool to visit around all Taipei and Taipei county . If you could know the way to translate public bus, it will be fun to travel in Taipei. But unluckliy, the bus system does not support English well including the route map. So for foreigners, it is not easy to take .
