Beijing at Christmas
Hello,
My friend and i are going to be in Beijing from the 23rd of December to the 3rd of January and were just wondering if anyone had any tips of specific things to do/see? Obviously, we want to visit all the key sites, but were just wondering if anything specific will be happening during the festive season? Also, we are quite keen to have a "Chinese" lunch on Christmas day - can anyone recommend any restuarants where we will be able to find traditional chinese food (as opposed to Turkey etc that a lot of the hotels appear to be doing)?! We are n ot entirely sure how much will be open on chrismtas day? Thanks so much in advance! _____________________ http://www.waytovietnam.com Vietnam vacation, vietnam resort http://www.tracevietnam.com Saigon Travel Guide http://www.waytohalong.com Halong Cruise, Cruise Halong bay Vietnam |

As the Chinese don't traditionally celebrate Christmas, why would anything special happen then? tim |

Families promenading at night along the Kowloon waterfront looking at the lit buildings across the harbor .... |

No. You cannot find Chinese food in Beijing on XMAS as the city government requires all restaurants to serve a traditional XMAS dinner. |

In park, on an island...excellent stuff. Good luck. Nearby Forbidden City etc. http://www.kinabaloo.com/bh9.html |
