user experience

Beijing - user Jolanda & Ruud - 09/08/2007
We traveled through China using the bus, train and airplane. XS2China not only helped us in problematic situations, but gave us also many pleasant encounters. We used it to buy clothes and composing a birthday dinner. The employees of the restaurant we're really interested in the people who ordered their food and wine with the talking mobile phone. All smiling faces and we were the talk of the town! In regions in China where dialect is spoken Chinese people could read the characters on the screen. You should have seen the owner of a small hotel after thanking her for the wonderful time we had. XS2China came also in handy for directing cabdrivers in Beijing. In short if you don't have XS2China on your phone you'll miss out!

We wish a pleasant journey to everybody who's planning to travel through China.

National Arts and Crafts Museum     review Address 101 Fuxing Mennei Dajie, Dongcheng District Phone +861066053476 Open tue-sun 09:30-16:00 Chinese address Located on the fifth floor of Parkson Department Store (Baisheng Gouwu Zhongxin), this is a museum to prove that contemporary Chinese craftsmanship is every bit as good as it was during the Tang dynasty. Many items suggest large chunks of jade painstakingly carved into monuments to bad taste, and ceramic statues of arhats picking the wax from their ears. But it's a good introduction to traditional crafts and where they are produced in China. The four sections of this art museum features arts and crafts, national folk art, Beijing folk art and modern folk art.
