Dec. 4th, 2008, cold wave arrived in Beijing
Beijing seen the most cold wave ever in almost 11 years.
Oct, 1st, a visit to Tianjin on High-Speed Train
Tianjin is one of the four Municipal cities in China, besides Tianjin, other three are, Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, but different from others, Tianjin is quite silent for many years. The distance between Beijing and Tianjin is just 150 KM, but not so many local Beijingers would travel to Tianjin, there are many reasons, one of them is the train is slow, takes about 1.5 hours to go, or by the highway, which takes about 2 hours, as the traffic is not very good sometimes.
Until recently (just before the Game) a high-speed train system is built-up and links tightly Tianjian and Beijing. Now this high-speed train takes only 30 minutes, and departs every 15 minutes from both Beijing and Tianjin, from 06:15 (from Beijing) to 22:10 (from Tianjin).
The one way ticket costs 58 yuan for 2nd Class, and 70 yuan for 1st Class.
Beijing South Railway Station, which is the terminal for the high-speed train to Tianjin, and also to Shanghai in the future. But right now, as lots of construction is undergoing, if you try to walk into this building is really confusing, you will need the ferry bus to get into the station. The best way is taxi, or bus.
