In my previous trip to Beijing, I was able to slot it a day tour to Gugong aka The Forbidden City. Took the subway from the Olympic Sports Center station to Tian'anmen East. That's about 13 stations in between. I must say Beijing has a very good subway system. It costs RMB2 for any journey. That's about RM1. Once stepped out from the station, I could feel the frigid temperature. Not a good day on that day as the weather was hazy. Here are some photos from within the Forbidden City.




Category: Travel OK, time is catching up. I have about 3 weeks left before the trip. Have drafted out initial itinerary: 6 May - Fly to BKK and transit to Udon Thani. From Udon Thani, go to Nong Khai and cross over Laos border. Immigration office opens until 10pm. Hope to reach Vientiane before midnite. 7 May - Excursion around Vientiane. 8 May - Travel to Vang Vieng. Not really want to spend 11 hours on the bus to get to Luang Prabang. Have a pit stop will be nicer. 9 May - Continue to Luang Prabang. 10 May - Excursion around Luang Prabang. 11 May - Slow boat to Pak Beng. Mandatory pit stop due to slowliness of the boat. 12 May - Slow boat to Huoy Xai. I guess have to over night here (immigration office might be closed at time of arrival). 13 May - Cross over to Thailand. Might not stay in Chiang Rai. Proceed to Chiang Mai. 14 May -Back to Malaysia.
