                <description><![CDATA[As well as the usual Jinshanling or Simatai Great Wall tours, you can also explore other parts which are completely unrestored. Beijing Leo Hostel run a tour/hike to Secret Shen Shui Hu for 100rmb. <br><br>It should be noted that you're not always following the path of the wall itself, and if you want to get the 'classic' wall experience (and photos) take another tour instead of, or as well as, this one. On the other hand, you will definitely avoid crowds and hawkers.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A park at the rear (northern exit) of the Palace Museum across the moat. <br><br>If your feet can bear one more climb after a day in the forbidden city, make it up to the "Pavillion of Everlasting Spring" which overlooks the entire city. Try to get there for sunset for incredible views of the hundreds of shimmering golden rooftops of the forbidden city and the expanse of Tian An Men square.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Go just before dusk to the top of the small hill in Jingshan park, just north of the Forbidden City. By this time, the usual throng of tourists and trinket sellers has usually declined to just a couple of dozen people so you can see the old and new of Beijing in relative peace. With a good sunset, even the smog can look attractive. Open 6am-9pm daily.]]></description>
