Beijing - A Home away from Bangalore !! - China Tour III

Jai Gurudev !!

Beijing Aiport

  

We were the odd ones out in China Dragon Airlines flight in the midst of  Chinese crowd. But, me and my colleague differed in one more way too. We got the special guest treatment .Guess what ? We were served the food first in flight. Because only ours was the only vegetarian food in the whole flight specially prepared .



Veg Food (?!) served at Dragon Airlines



The menu included the bread , butter , rice with some strange vegetables & mushrooms, Boiled Kabuli Channa Daal and  fruits & Tea etc.





Waiting at Immigration Cell at Beijing



The flight journey took about 4 hrs and when we reached Beijing airport, the first thing I noticed was more and more number of people . We can say that the airport is flooded with people everywhere .

 



Kids on Sports tour

 
Beijing is second highly populated city in China with a population exceeding 22 millions , records say.
Sports gain a major importance in China !! We can see may sports related scenes at many places .

Electric Train to reach exit at airport


  Beijing airport is  incredibly larger and so modern buildings and posh too. We ought to catch a bus , followed by escalators then an electric train followed by an elevator, within the airport to reach the exit door of the airport. With this , you can imagine, how big the airport is !! Amazing !!






An Elevator to move between the floors at airport



To me , the airport looked like a busy local Bus stand , except for the fact that it's all flying aeroplanes instead of the Buses. Every 5 minutes ,one aeroplane keeps taking off !!

A very cold evening at Beijing welcomed us and the car booked for us escorted us to the Hotel , Home Inn situated outside the fifth Ring Road. Beijing is so vast that it consists as many as Six Ring roads !! 



Lenova building opposite our hotel





Home Inn is a chain of restaurants spread all over Beijing. The hotel location was in the industrial area  similar to the Electrinics City location of Bangalore, full of industries. And the hotel is situated within about 5 minutes walkable distance to our office location. About 4 buildings belonging to famous Lenova  Company is sitauted adjacent to our hotel.  The room was quite accomodative  for us 2 ladies with facilities like a room heater/Air conditioner and 24 hrs hot water supplyand an electric kettle . Soon we started feeling at home there. For the next fortnight , it indeed was going to be our home , u see ...
