Lovely Lijiang

I've just spent a couple of wonderful days in the lovely city of Lijiang. I've heard of the accomadation being a little pricey in some areas but if you want somewhere to stay thats cheap ( 50 yuan ) and comfortable, there is a place right near the bus station. Its called the Ri Yue He hotel. The room price was originally 100 yuan but with a little persueding the price we agreed on was 50 yuan. The room was complete with a large bathroom, double bed and a TV. It was really clean but a little cool. And its only a 10 min walk to the old town. Also there are lots of really cheap restaurants right near the hotel and the food is great. Lots of baozi around the streets everywhere, I love the stuff and it's a really cheap snack anytime of the day. Shop around for them, the price differs only a little and they cost me 2.5 yuan for 10 small ones. I think you need a least a full day to see all the old town properly as there are so many little streets and backalleys to explore. Most of the major streets are full of tourists but the ones further away are very quiet and give you more of a feel of what the old town must have been like. There are some good views of the mountainous backdrops if you climb up beyond the rooftops and they present good photos. All in all the best time to visit the old town is early in the morning while everyone is still asleep but it's also great in the twilight of evening and night, just when all the lights are coming to their brightness.

Nadam Fair

To win the heart of a girl, man must prove his power and Nadam Fair is such a good opportunity. Nadam is entertainment and game literally. Every July and August, herdsmen will ride from mile away for the three skills for man, namely horse riding, archery and wrestling.
A laurel wrestler may have to go through 7 to 8 or even a dozen of competitions before winning. As the Mongolians conquered the world by archery, Genghis Khan ordered that every soldier must have two to three bows and three full quivers. At Nadam, everyone has 9 arrows to shoot in 3 turns.
Mongolian men will show their tenderness after a day’s vehement competiton when night falls and the camp fire is lighted. Besides the three skills, Mongolian men are born singers! Accompanied by the melodious horse head qin(a stringed instrument), their songs can surely melt the heart of the girls they admire!

mountain resort and temples

4 hours by train from Beijing to see MORE imperial sights? After Forbidden City Summer Palace the Great Wall etc. honestly the 90RMB entrace for foreigners isn't necessary on your itinerary. But if you want out of the city heat the temples aound the mountain resort are varied and impressive. Entrance fees between 20 and 60RMB. They certainly were alive with Buddhist pilgrims, Llamas,and endless vendors. Weekday departures are quiet on the train. Sunday return was packed. The downhill route was also much more remote (saw some HWY building) Chengde makes a nice not essential side trip from Beijing. Especially if not seeing Tibet (Potala Palace likeness!) 1overnight plenty of time.
