Biking through Beijing Don't put anything here Page Content Page Name (for URL) Page Title Breadcrumb Text Don't put anything here On our third day in Beijing we followed the advice of the Lonely Planet and rented bikes. It did turn out to be a good idea - Beijing is as flat as it gets (except for one hill in the middle built from the earth excavated during the construction of a moat for the Forbidden City) and generally bike-friendly. Some of the bigger streets may be a little intimidating, but many have dedicated bike lanes (in some cases up to 10 m wide) and there are plenty of small alleys that are perfect for bikes. <~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_026_4256 The Bell Tower (Gu Lou) 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_021_0127 Velorikshas 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_040_1127 A dude by the Beihai Park 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_053_6876 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_041_1833 Starbucks 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_045_1237 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_085_8401 Roof of the Emperor's Temple ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_087_4557 Door with studs 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_104_3700 The multi-lingual empire China once was 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_107_2955 Bikes at the temple 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_169_0136 Hutong fashion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_152_8772 A Tibetan temple ordered by Kubla-khan 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_139_9566 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_137_5912 2006-06-04-beijing-bike/20060604_175_5904 A Catholic church ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> Don't put anything here Advanced Fields Category 2002200320042005200620072008200920102011201220132014E.
