Beijing : first visits

Here is a small report of my picture 3 days on Beijing. Program, the Tienanmen place, les Hutongs (old traditional neighborhood), very impressive (by their size) Summer Palace and Forbidden City, and finally the Palace of Heaven and restaurant Yunnan frankly too typical for my taste. All this in a dry heat and stifling (between 33 and 35 degrees in the shade) I can tell you that the visits were grueling. However I took eyeful!

The new Beijing Opera

Place Tien An Men

Hutongs

Forbidden City & Parc Jingshan

Summer Palace

Typical meal of the Dai people of Yunnan (southwest)…

Yeah, well actually too Chinese for us! …But very good rice with pineapple and banana fritters!)

Palace of Heaven

(unfortunately I did not see that my wide angle lens was dirty… )

Pour le coup ça me donnerait presque envie d’aller visiter ce pays (La cité interdite semble assez impressionnante).

Alors tu as préféré quoi ?
Je remarque en tout cas que les couleurs des photos sont toujours aussi fades lorsqu’on prend un cliché sur Pékin, à cause de la lumière particulière due à la pollution ! Cela m’a fait exactement la même impression en regardant mes photos. C’est dommage car on a des monuments magnifiques, mais finalement, les photos ont une lumière décevante…
Otherwise, moi aussi j’avais grillé une année de photo à cause d’une trace de doigt sur mon objectif que j’avais pas remarqué
Linanounette > Pékin est une ville “musée” pour un touriste. It is so big that there is considerable attractions,,fr,with magnificent monuments,,fr,It worth,,fr,Especially the population is really nice,,fr,anyway I was super well received,,fr,and that is not,,fr,in a tourist nest,,fr,While politics is what it is,,fr,but there were not many scruples to go to Tunisia for example,,fr,I invite everyone to discover Beijing,,fr,that I love,,fr,ps,,en,The Forbidden City was less impressed me the other two personal sites,,fr,day,,fr,not year,,fr,What I liked is the Jingshan Park overlooking the Forbidden City,,fr,I asked myself at one of the windows ready Buddah,,fr, avec des monuments magnifiques. Cela vaut vraiment le coup. Surtout que la population est vraiment agréable (en tout cas j’avais été super bien accueilli) et qu’on est pas (yet) dans un nid à touriste. Certes la politique est ce qu’elle est, mais on avait pas beaucoup de scrupules à aller en Tunisie par exemple. J’invite tout le monde à découvrir Pékin, que j’adore.
ps : La Cité Interdite m’avait moins impressionné que les deux autres sites perso

Ce que j’ai préféré c’est le parc Jingshan qui surplombe la cité interdite, je me suis posé à l’une des fenêtres prêt du buddah, in a draft and I stayed there a good half hour to refresh myself to the wind and watch the scenery,,fr,I also loved the sky of the Palace and its pleasant park,,fr,They are true havens of peace away from the traffic and crowds,,fr,very relaxing,,fr,Regarding the population I'm pretty mixed,,fr,I met some nice people but also some big con,,fr,dirty looks,,fr,insults in the back,,fr,Briefly much like everywhere what,,fr,but the most striking is that for many it feels a strong sense of nationalism on the edge of superiority complex,,fr. J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé le Palais du ciel et son parc très agréable. Ce sont de vrais havres de paix à l’abri de la circulations et de la foule… très reposant.

Concernant la population je suis assez mitigé, j’ai rencontré des gens très sympa mais aussi quelques gros cons (regards méchants, insultes dans le dos… bref un peu comme partout quoi), mais le plus frappant c’est que chez beaucoup on ressent un fort sentiment de nationalisme à la limite du complexe de supériorité. I have to feel it especially in HK there was a very cosmopolitan mentality compared to Beijing and in the countryside,,fr,yangshuo,,en,I had not felt this,,fr,fantastic,,fr,Heaven Palace is super colorful,,fr,thanks for sharing,,fr,Ouaouh,,ar,Thank you for sharing these photos with us,,fr,The Palace of Heaven really look stunning,,fr,Your trip to China gives me a good mind,,fr,Magnificent this Palace of Heaven,,fr (yangshuo) je n’avais pas non plus ressenti cela.
