CHINA 中国 BEST SHOPPING IN BEIJING // VLOG#91
We're still loving Beijing and this week we even get to see some beautiful blue skies! This week we try to find the best shopping Beijing has to offer..keeping in mind we don't have much space in our 40L backpacks...which also helps to keep us on budget. Our first stop is the famous Silk Road where you can get a copy/knick-off of just about any clothing or fashion related item your heart desires. Kate is not a big shopper but even she had fun here. Bring your haggling skills and some money for coffee. Next on our agenda is to add some more culture to our lives so we make our way to the Capital Museum of China. Admission is free but you have to register in advance (in Mandarin) so we just asked the nice folks at our hotel to call for us and all was smooth as silk. Make sure to put this Museum on your itinerary when visiting Beijing, it's definitely worth investing an afternoon to check out the exhibits. This place is truly a treasure trove of history. For some more shopping we roll on over to another famous Beijing copy mall, the Pearl Market which we didn't like nearly as much as silk road. To close out, we link up with some expat friends who take us out for a truly local dining experience that was just amazing! While taking our after-meal stroll we happen across some Duck fans who see my shirt and get really..REALLY...excited..perhaps having a blood alcohol content higher than their age had something to do with the excitement. All too soon its time to leave Beijing and the friends we've made here. We can't wait to come back and explore even more of this amazing city and country!

Chapter 67 is one of 150 Chapters of Paul Hodge's incredible ground breaking February, 2014 High Definition (HD) Video Book 2013 SOLO AROUND WORLD IN 24 DAYS, OCT 24 - NOV 18, 2013. In HD, this Chapter chronicles Sunday evening, November 3, 2013, the eleventh day of Paul's amazing 21 flight, 40,000+ mile, 24 day solo adventure around our planet. This HD video focuses on Paul's Sunday evening exploration of Beijing's amazing Dunghuamen Night Market which runs for almost a city block on Dunghuamen Street at the north end of Beijing's famous shopping street, Wangfujing Street. This amazing night market is located near Beijing's foreign embassy area and the East Gate of the Forbidden City. In addition to standard Western foods such as pot stickers, spring rolls, etc., the food stalls also have some unusual Chinese food delicacies including star fish, deep fried crickets, silk worms and lizards on a stick. As one can observe from Paul's HD video, many locals and tourists come to the market to enjoy and experience one of Beijing's most unusual night food markets.
In addition to being the first ever High Definition (HD) Video Book published on YouTube with 160 chapters and 15+ hours of edited, original video taken by Paul Hodge from all over the world during his incredible October/November 2013 Solo Around the World Adventure, Paul's video book is Paul's second on YouTube to provide in-depth coverage and instruction on how to go solo around the world.

Incredibly, after returning from Rio de Janeiro in February, 2013, Paul published another ground breaking 84 chapter video book 2013 Rio Carnival which provided singular in depth coverage of Rio's world famous 2013 Rio Carnival celebrations. (See Trailer: )

Ep.11-Clip of Souvenir Tourism in China -- BONTV
We all tend to buy souvenirs when we go travelling to remember our adventures. When traveling through China, most tourists find that the country is filled with unique trinkets and snacks that would be great to take home. China's souvenirs are very diverse, and some of the more popular souvenirs items tend to be based around woodcrafts, ceramics, paintings, silks and different types of local snacks.
Each part of the country boasts its own local souvenirs and delicacies, but thankfully, all these crafts and snacks from around the country can be purchased in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai. Now there will be a huge difference in authenticity and price depending on where you purchase each item. Even if you head to the city where your desired craft is produced, you are not guaranteed to
find an authentic piece, particularly if you buy your souvenirs from tourist ally ways and shops. So, if you're thinking about buying a specific souvenir, I would suggest that you go to the actual area where it is produced to buy it.
For example, if you are traveling through Inner Mongolia, and you want to taste the most authentic foods, you should consider heading to the home of a local family. There you will be able to drink milk tea, and eat freshly prepared fire roasted lamb. And don't worry, because the locals are all too willing to invite you in to dine with them!
