Top Travel Site Cites Beijing Sights in Survey

Our fair city fared well in travel site TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice Attractions, with Beijing sights placing in both the Top 10 Asia Landmarks and Top 10 Asia Parks categories.

The Great Wall at Mutianyu placed fourth in Top 10 Asia Landmarks, behind Cambodia's Bayon Temple. Cambodia's Siem Reap was number one in the category.

Beihai Park was voted sixth in Top 10 Asia Parks, behind Nara Park in Nara, Japan. Singapore's Botanical Garden took top honors.

Beijing didn't place in either Top 10 Asia Museums (which strangely has 15 museums listed) or Top 10 Asia Amusement or Water Parks, but nanny nanny poo poo, neither did Shanghai. They sucked our tailpipe in seventh in Top 10 Asia Parks, behind our beloved Beihai. Huo gai.

Although none of our water parks won awards, it's still hot out, and they're still cooling. Read all about them in our latest issue.
