Travel to China will allow to immerse themselves in the most ancient traditions and the unusual culture of this country, see the fascinating landscapes national Parks and mountains, visit the largest monuments of architecture, palaces of emperors, vintage temples, pagodas and museums, and evaluate dishes local cuisine, preserved thousand-year traditions and secrets.

So long-awaited vacation began. I, unexpectedly, remained without a fellow traveler - my companion was not able to participate in the planned trip at the last moment.

But I decided not to cancel anything and ride to conquer China alone, I did not regret any per minute.

And here I am two of my suitcase, we expect to start registration at Minsk airport. While the plane did not get, boredom from waiting was stronger than fear. I was not worried about the flight on the plane, I could worry if I could navigate in the huge airport of Beijing. I confess, being in place, the fear of MIG Tucks, but, taking into my hands, I found a parking lot. I defended a small queue, I showed a taxi driver's address (Hotel in Beijing, like the air ticket, I booked in advance on the site biletyplus.ru) and went. By the way, in China is very good hotels: The price is satisfied low, and the situation and the service at the highest level.

In the people, this skyscraper is called "pants"

I spent my first day in Beijing in Forbidden City, bigger palace complex World. By defending a considerable queue, I got there, where once was revealed by the entrance of a simple mortal. The payback was terrible: they cut off heads or cooked in the boiler (unless of course mortals are not servants of emperors and not ministers). I needed for about 4 hours on a tour, and to be honest, it was not very fun. It is good that I threw in advance to the player of audio-scraps in Russian, and then the tour of the Chinese would be quickly tired.

And I made a walk through the Park Maiuan. Water occupies most of the territory there, visitors move on bridges. Since the boundaries are not fenced by the fence, and there are many people, it was rather afraid. With my random companion, we removed the boat. By the way, it is in this fleet that are arranged legendary walks on a stone ship.

In Beijing, I visited the main street of the city. Here are the most expensive stores and boutiques, as well as the world's largest screen, located across the head of passersby. In addition, the asphalt is mounted fountains that can work at any time.

I lived not far from the Silk Market and became a frequent witness of the whole ideas with pseudozhods of buyers, their "Cambaki" and long speeches that are convinced that it is necessary to reduce the cost of the goods. Here I perfectly mastered the art of trade: you are told the cost, you bring it in n times (depending on what they fight, i.e. traded), then listen to reproach, say "so far", you catch up and sell you for your price.

But on the shopping street, Yabalu is not accepted to bargain until the latter, they say, the merchants immediately put the minimum price. By the way, most of them say good in Russian.

Next, the time of the cultural program is: I bought a ticket to the legendary Acrobatov Show in Beijing. The ticket was not from the cheapest (I sat on the 6th row and this event cost me $ 100). But it was an incredible sight: very expensive costumes, stunning scenery, and what to talk about the skill of acrobats! A dozen dancers on one bike, incredible support, but most of all I liked a huge ball that was installed on the stage - there were three motorcyclists at once inside it! I saw the wonders of human grace and plastics. It was an incredible sight that was worth his money. I liked it insane! If someday fate will bring me back in Beijing, I will definitely go again.

In Beijing, I also visited the zoo. On the huge territory there are hundreds of animal species, but of course the Misch-Panda Mischy Misch. By the way, the kids panda can even be taken on the hands, naturally, by paying. Near the zoo, on the same site, is the dolphinarium.

On the tea ceremony in Beijing, they were offered 12 types of tea. For some reason, for some reason, they are not soaked here, they simply leaving boiling water right with us. Probably, this is an element of a local tea ceremony. We were planted for a special wooden table and alternately poured a fragrant drink in tiny cups of red clay. Despite the fact that the tea insisted for a very long time, he was strong and tasty. Most of all I liked the taste of Vanilla.

By the way, about tea. In any public place, Beijing guests always pour a hot and invigorating drink.

And, of course, any dinner in the restaurant begins with tea and fruit. In China's restaurants, spinning attached tables are installed, so as not to reach out for their piece, knocking down all salads on the way. Portions are small but satisfying. In the first day in Beijing, I ordered a duck in Peking. They prepared it right in me, there was little meat in her, in addition to it. The most valuable is the skin, it is eaten with sugar, but I did not dare.

Perhaps most of all I was impressed by the restaurant where you pay only for the entrance (about 18 yuan). At the entrance, guests are joined and they give slippers. Visitors lunch in cozy arbors surrounded by water from all sides, and the passage of the restaurant is carried out on small bridges. And you can minimize, in order to hide from prying views. And then a real belly feast begins: you can take food in any amounts as the soul (but the main thing is the stomach). Here serves delicious sushi, seafood, sweets, beer, sake. The restaurant works with breaks and more than two hours there can not be sitting, take a removal of food, naturally, too.

Of course, I wanted to look at the building of the Legendary Big National Theater. The entrance to the theater is underground, because it is surrounded by water from all sides. Inside did not come in, it was impressed in absentia.

Taki not in vain, China was unreasonable to the healthiest nation: every morning (about 5 am) in urban parks, the Chinese are engaged in gymnastics, waltz dance or their national dances. I did not accept participation in charging, but I took a couple of photos.

It was interesting to travel, especially for the Chinese, any "European Mordashka" is a real exotic, they often fit and asked to make a joint photo.

From Beijing, I went to Baydahhe and Shanghai. But about it - in the second part of my note.

China attracts tourists with its flavor, an amazing combination of modern and ancient architecture. In the cities of the PRC, gorgeous skyscrapers with Buddhist temples are perfect, there are shops with amazing goods, restaurants with traditional Chinese cuisine. In order to plunge into the country's atmosphere, it is better to organize a trip to China yourself, go by interesting routes And plenty of enjoying local traditions.

What documents are needed for a trip?

To visit the country, tourists initially need to issue a visa. If the trip is scheduled for up to 30 days, then a single visa is suitable for such purposes. Its cost is 1500 rubles.

Document package for visa:

  • foreign passport is liquid for six months from the date of the trip;
  • a copy of the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
  • questionnaire with photos in color;
  • insurance policy;
  • certificate from the bank to confirm financial consistency;
  • tickets for both ends;
  • invitation.

If the invitation is personal in nature, it is necessary to provide inviting passport details.

You need to handle the visa to the consulate.

Transport to the destination and within the country

You can get directly into China itself not only by airlines, but also by bus or train. True, for this, you first need to go to Vladivostok, and from there you can choose any ground transport And cross the border. Moving inside the country remains varied. You can choose vehicles, aircraft, bus, train or taxi. However, in large megalopolises, it is better to stop their choice on the subway for the purpose of quickly moving. A trip is carried out on a travel, which can be bought at the beginning of the journey and pass at the end.

How to choose accommodation?

Receiving a visa obliges to provide the reservation for the entire time that the traveler plans to stay in China. Such long-term reservation is in itself a lot of unknown surprises. It is recommended to make a reservation for several nights and, if necessary, extend it, and if the number does not suit, then go and find another. Many tourists complain about the flaws in hotels.

Bad soundproofing

The rooms in the rooms are made of such a material that skips the sound to the maximum extent. Inconvenience This fact delivers many, as it is almost impossible to provide comfortable accommodation because of good hearing from the next room. And if the hotel is located near the road or the crowded place, then the room will be all audible.

Conditions in the room

The hotel is selected by the photo, but arriving there can be very disappointed. Room sizes can be very different from the claimed, furnishings and cleanliness in the room can also not match. The hotel's hotel is better to pay attention to the rating and reviews, but its cost will be significantly higher than the low rating. So night in a good hostel will cost about $ 30, and on average about 15. The short-term rental of apartments in the PRC is not particularly popular, but if desired, you can find a company that will provide accommodation for several nights.

The bulk of cash here will leave for accommodation, from here and it is necessary to repel the planning budget.

Food

The fact that in Russia is used to considering Chinese food is actually very different from the present. Traditional is an unusual combination of products, an abundance of spices and sauces. However, a tourist without problems can eat in the famous McDonalds network, but the price will be above average lunch in the Russian Federation. Local restaurants and nutritionits do not pay due attention to sanitary standards, food there is more budget, therefore there is a chance to get food poisoning or stomach disorder.

It is not worth depriving the opportunity to enjoy traditional snacks, it's enough to find a restaurant or cafe, where the owner will be Chinese Muslim. Such institutions are kept clean, but by planning a trip to China yourself, it is better to search for information about the location of such institutions in advance.

Many travelers choose a way of independent cooking. In supermarkets you can find all the necessary products, but without knowing the language it will be difficult to do, it will take a dictionary for this. Many exotic fruits can not be found in Russia, but you can try in China.

It is worth abandoning the purchase of sausages, as soy is used in their preparation, and the taste is very different from the usual taste.

2. By train from Kazakhstan to China

Train from Kazakhstan to China walks from Astana and from Almaty. Moreover, I could not find out the exact price for these trains, the site of Kazakhstani railways does not show them and do not buy tickets there for these trains, unfortunately.

From Astana in Urumchi walks on Saturdays the train number 54ts, in the way it is slightly over 40 hours.

There are two trains from Almaty: №014ts on Tuesdays (on the way for 31 hours) and No. 014 tons on Sundays (time on the road 31 hours). The cost of them is 20000 tenge. So I was informed in the background train station of Almaty. Not very fiscal!

3. By bus from Kazakhstan to China

As mentioned above, a lot of buses walk from the cities of East Kazakhstan to Urumchi and some other suar cities.

From Semey (Semipalatinsk) Bus in Urumqi walks on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Resurrections, time on the road 30 hours, the cost of 9,000 tenge.

From Ust-Kamenogorsk Schedule and price are the same.

From Almaty Bus in Urumchi walks every day, except Saturday. The fare is also about 9,000 tenge.

Back from China, you can get to Almaty, Semipalatinsk, Ust-Kamenogorsk, as well as to Zyryanovska, Ridder, Taldykurgan, Chunji and even Karaganda! But according to the latest cities information is not accurate, they simply saw prices on the bus station in Urumchi.

4. Combined way to get from Kazakhstan to China

Almaty can be reached by bus to the border town Zharkent, not far from the Border crossing of the Horgos, there to move the border on the special bus. Next you need to get to any less major city, for example, in Inin, and already from there in Urumchi. Such a hard way to get to China.

But in terms of cost it will be cheap: Almaty-Zharkent bus is about 1000 tenge, from the border to Inin, about 50 yuan, and then on the train of Alin-Urumchi (about 100 yuan).
