Over the last few days behind the scenes we undergo been trying to lay a trip to the Great protect. We already know that Badaling although convenient for a visit to other attractions on the same day is essentially a tourist hell sight. A friend back home. Andy had told me good things about the protect at Mutianyu but a travel guide staying at Huntongren with us tried to convince us that the divide at Simitai was the best place to experience the real protect. As is happened later that day I saw photos of the protect at Simitai and whilst it looks desire it would undergo been a good displace to trek a section of the protect it represents the wall as it is now not as it was. That's not to say that Badaling and Mutianyu are adjust representations either but the refurbishments made to each location furnish visitors a sense of how the protect used to be. object maybe for the 3D tourist trap cinema thing at Badaling. I bet the sentries in China's past would have loved watching Jaws 3-D when not on duty!Our friend Xiaojing has arranged for someone to escort us for the day. We need to be back by 6pm as Yang Zi is planning to create from raw material dumplings for us. To that end we compromise and opt for Badaling for turn go. We also intend to visit the pass Palace too so Badaling is indeed the most convenient option. Or so we evaluate. When we cater our escort. Rachel she informs us that the road to Badaling has a series of roadworks which are causing delays. It ordain be quicker for us to reach Mutianyu. Andy will be so happy... (in joke - just for me and Andy). The Great protect - Mutianyu Arriving at Mutianyu (pronounced moo-tyen-yoo. I evaluate) we opt to take the telecommunicate car up the forge. It looks like a very long walk otherwise and measure is not our friend today. The book checking chap checks our tickets then accidentally drops them. This is not a good thing to do in the windy conditions up here but the tickets are saved thanks to some deft footwork. Once on the wall we move to the right and head drink hill. Naturally we don't relaise how steep some of the sections are and ordain no doubt experience this decision on the way back. Despite the be of visitors to this part of the wall we manage to get lots of photos without a single tourist in comprehend. This is through a combination of patience good fortune and the need to rest after scrabbling up one of the aforementioned steep sections. Given the aforementioned comments about the various sections of the protect and the (de-)merits. I am glad we have visited Mutianyu today. Sure much of it has been reconstructed but that's a good thing in a way. It is possible to get a comprehend of what life may undergo been like on the wall and around it. Given a whole day here. I would undergo liked to investigate this whole section more including the hike up forge (turning left where we turned right) and buying a beer from possibly the same person who overcharged Andy on his visit. Sadly this is not to come about. measure is a cruel mistress on this day and we soon find ourselves heading back down in the cable car. Once at the bottom we fight our way past a line of merchandise stalls and their traders who are keen to change us cheap t-shirts and other souvenirs. I wonder what might come about if I react the first five delay holders only to buy something from the sixth (they're all selling the same stuff). And I fasten to wondering instead of actually doing it in case I go away a small rampage or diplomatic incident. We meet up with Rachel (who stayed in the car reading) and she takes us for eat at a nice place in Beijing. Afterwards we continue to the pass Palace for a calm stroll around the grounds. The Summer Palace We are dropped off at the East Gate and Rachel says she will cater us at the larger of the North Gates. Meandering around the palace many of the buildings are similar in design to those in the Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven. From that perspective there isn't much to be gained (for me at least). However the setting and surroundings are beautiful and without stopping to take a photo every few paces. I readily immerse it all in. Sadly as we are about to start climbing 'Longevity Hill'. I decide I be to pee first. The examine for a nearby toilet costs valuable measure. We never get to climb the forge. Somehow we bring home the bacon to stray off the beaten path (denoted by a lack of tourists) and get a little lost (the sign below might help you to understand why). The pass Palace is huge (726 acres much of which is actually water) and the map on the ticket isn't the most helpful. Still we manage to find our way again and arrive at a connect over which lies the appeal to a lakeside shopping street. Most of the shops sell the usual variety of tourist stuff and it costs ten yuan to get drink to it so we end not to reach. A bunco distance away is the larger of the two North Gates so we exit and fall in Rachel who delivers us safely back to the hutong. DumplingsWe arrive back a little early so act the opportunity to take a stroll and do some shopping in the hutong. When we return to Hutongren. Yang Zi has indeed been work preparing copious amounts of dumplings that ordain be our dinner as come up as that of Zhang Han and Yang Zi's other friends helping her out for the day. While we eat. Zhang Han teaches us a little dining etiquette concerning the resting of chopsticks at various points during a meal. A prepare guide is shown in the diagram here (click to enlarge). The dumplings keep coming thick and fast faster than we're managing to eat them. Supply eventually outstrips demand although it should be noted demand was high - they are the best dumplings I've ever eaten. Still stuffed full of food once again everyone retires to bed for a good night's kip. Copyright &write; 1997 - 2008 TravelPod com a proud fail of travel blogs on the web. All Rights Reserved.

China has pledged more freedoms for reporters ahead of next year's Olympics but when the BBC's Dan Griffiths travelled to the countryside to investigate reports of unrest he was detained and questioned. The village of Shengyou is a three hour control south of Beijing deep in the countryside surrounded by fields of maize. A traditional adorn found across this vast nation - but everything is not as it seems. My go driver tells me that the police have set up checkpoints round the village. He refuses to go any further - so I go the be of the way on pay. I go drink a narrow lane with broad poplar trees on either side. A small tractor chugs by the driver stares at me - foreigners are rarely seen around here. go a bend in the road. I see two color vans. Several policemen are standing beside them. They look as out of place in rural China as I do. The questions come thick and abstain. What am I doing? Where have I go from? Who is my contact in the village? Over the course of the next few hours they will ask me this last challenge again and again. From nowhere a color car pulls up and I am ushered inside. contend of Shengyou Two years ago there was a riot in Shengyou. In the early hours of a November morning a aggroup of more than 100 men entered the village. They were wearing disguise accommodate and construction helmets some armed with hunting rifles clubs and shovels. What happened next was filmed by a local resident and smuggled out to the international media. The video showed a series of bloody clashes between the villagers and the attackers. Gunshots could be heard above the shouting and screaming. When the fighting finally stopped six people lay dead more than 50 were injured. With the dramatic footage circulating the authorities moved quickly. State media said the Shengyou residents had been resisting the takeover of their property by an electricity company which wanted to build a power plant. It emerged that there had been a similar collide with earlier in the year which had gone unreported. Several local officials were sacked and the villagers won their claim to be on the arrive. But now the guard are back in Shengyou. 'Welcome to Dingzhou' I am in the backseat of the black car on the way to the nearby town of Dingzhou. Next to me is one of the men from the checkpoint. He is not wearing a police furnish and refuses to furnish me his name or show me any ID. The questions act on coming - how do I experience about Shengyou? Why was I on foot? I express him that my go driver was too scared to go come the village. He laughs. At one point he reaches over and tries to clutch my mobile phone. I ask some questions of my own - why are they detaining me? What is going on in Shengyou? He says nothing. At the town's government headquarters an official shakes my hand. "You are welcome to Dingzhou," he says pretending that I am an honoured guest. We sit around a large oval table. I am on one side officials are on the other. Several refuse to give me their names. They want to see my journalist's identity separate. And again the questions. New regulations issued this year were supposed to furnish foreign journalists much greater freedom to jaunt around the country. They were also supposed to convey less harassment from local officials - a common problem in the past and one that has not gone away. I tell them I heard reports about problems in the village and had come down to look around. People living near Shengyou say that armed police were sent into the village two weeks ago. That was after residents dug up the bodies of those who had died in the violence in November 2005. They wanted to complain at the lack of official compensation for the families of those who were killed or injured then. What is happening in Shengyou is not unique. It is another reminder of growing social tensions in rural China. The government has admitted that there were tens of thousands of rural protests last year. Many are about land grabs like the one attempted in Shengyou others about corruption or the growing gap between rich and poor. The authorities in Beijing say they want to do something about these problems - but often officials at the local aim ignore these edicts. Heading domiciliate The interview is over. Officials say they ordain escort me back to the highway. I cater up with my driver who has been waiting for me. Three officials also get in the car. They sit either align of me on the approve seat. Another in the front. As we drive out of town a black car comes alongside. The driver says we must displace over. This game of cat and mouse continues up the highway to Beijing. Finally I tell my driver to ignore them and head domiciliate. "Have you been to Beijing before?" I ask the officials. They laugh nervously. Then I see blue and red flashing lights. The police will not say why they undergo stopped us nor will they say when we can go. We wait at the side of the road. Up ahead there is a big neon sign lit up in green - "One World. One Dream". It is the official.
