After much preparation its time to get on with our journey to Beijing. Actually Airasia does not have a direct flight to Beijing. Its flight stops at Tianjin, some 150km from Beijing. On this edition of cekikdarah, we will look into the many types of transportation available in China and how to get around.

In this series, we will be looking at the preparation and planning step that I took towards my trip to Beijing. My friend and I planned to travel to Beijing from Friday 12th June to Sunday 21st June 2009, a total of 9 days. For those who are planning to go to China, maybe these information can be useful for you in your travel planning.

its Incredible how cheap low cost carriers offer their seats nowadays. When I booked my ticket to Beijing (Tianjin), it only cost about RM600 for a return ticket and Beijing is more than 2000 miles away from Malaysia!

Greeting everyone. Been a while since the last post. For the past few weeks my friend and I have been preparing and going for a 1 week trip to Beijing. We had planned this trip for a while and we were happy to finally complete the adventurous journey. Having said that, for the next few posts I will write about the whole journey, the preparations and also tips for those interested on doing a Beijing trip of their own. Worried about halal food? No worries, in the following "Beijing Chronicles" I will explain everything about everything I did there, the problems and solutions we came up with. So please stay tuned.
