Because I had to go to Shenyang for a work trip, Someone decided to go to Beijing for a short trip to meet her friends. I also swung by Beijing after Shenyang to spend the weekend there.
Beijing is an odd place to consider for a stop-over weekend. But we also spent a short stopover a Beijing in Dec 2009, almost three years to the day.
Beijing has lots of good food, decent shopping and it was minus 20 degrees there. That was pretty crazy.
But all that was nothing compared to the ending part which i was looking forward to. We decided to take the high-speed rail from Beijing to Shanghai just for the experience. It's a five-hour journey but if you factor the one-hour journey to the airport, 1.5 hour wait at the airport, two-hour flight, then one more hour from Shanghai airport to home, the train journey isnt that long.
In any case, we decided not to do second class, not to do first class, but to go for business class. Cost us S$340 per person for a one-way trip but it was pretty fun!
Flat bed, food was provided, excellent service.
VROOOM!
