Beijing Things To Do
Beijing: Beautiful and Uncrowded Beautiful and Uncrowded by schwein
Mutianyu is a much better area of the wall to visit than Badaling. It's far less crowded (with tourists and salespeople alike!) and offers a much better experience. I think we saw less than 20 other people on the top the whole time we were there. Skip the chairlift that operates, and do the hike up. The hike is easier than they say, nice, and on well marked trails. Took about 15-20 minutes to get to tower 8 on the wall from the ticketbooth,... [read more]

Have You Heard the News?

There’s a new baby boy in our midst. And thanks to Sue_Stone for filling us in because we hadn’t heard anything about this exciting event. Sue reports that, “lovely Italian VT'er Fra.da. recently had a baby boy called Lorenzo.”

Thanks Sue; and congratulations Francesca and Lorenzo.



The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings

The great thing about travel may be seeing the world through a different lens, but that doesn't mean the view is always pretty. With this in mind, the travel experts at VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of "The World's Top 10 Ugliest Buildings and Monuments." General manager, Giampiero Ambrosi talks about the selections: "Some of these picks have all the charm of a bag of nails while others are just jaw-dropping in their complexity. Love them or hate them, the list is certainly entertaining."



We LOVE hearing from VirtualTourist members and visitors alike. We frequently get notes just letting us know that you're out there and you're enjoying VT. Very often we'll forward the mail around to the rest of the team, to share the love. Drop us a note, we'd love to hear from you.

You can see more community news items from previous days in the Community News Archives Drop us a note at feedback@virtualtourist.com if you'd like your item to be considered.
