Note to tourists
Gulrypsh - a holiday destination for celebrities
There is an urban-type settlement Gulrypsh on the Black Sea coast of Abkhazia, the appearance of which is closely connected with the name of the Russian philanthropist Nikolai Nikolaevich Smetsky. In 1989, due to his wife’s illness, they needed a change of climate. The matter was decided by chance.The main attractions of Beijing are lined up along one axis from north to south.
Of course, the ancient architects did not care about how to make life easier for us tourists, but such a plan for Beijing is not accidental. It was chosen carefully, taking into account the requirements of Feng Shui experts.
Let's take the Gate of Heavenly Peace on the main Tiananmen Square (the grandstand for parades with a portrait of Mao Zedong) as a starting point. If you go from them strictly south, past the stele - a monument to the People's Heroes, then, past Mao's mausoleum and further, further, further (quite far! ) – you find yourself in the Temple of Heaven. And if you go north from this gate, you enter the Forbidden City, followed by Jingshan - the infamous Coal Hill, a little further north the Drum Tower, and then the Bell Tower. Behind it, to the right, will be the Yonghegong Monastery.It will become easier to remember and navigate the street names of Beijing if you remember at least 6 words: bei (bei) 北 - north, xi (xi) 西 - west, nan (nan) 南 - south, dong (dong) 东 - east, zhong (zhong) 中 – middle, men (men) 门 – gate. See all areas of Beijing on a detailed map in English and Russian below. Also, if you are going to go not only to the capital, it would also not hurt to explore travel options along the route, Hong Kong, and other most interesting cities in the Middle Kingdom.

*Russian reading will help if you only have a map of Beijing in Russian, because there are no signs in Russian. Here in Latin letters - they come across.
*Look at the city map: the sides of the square, in the center of which is Tiananmen Square, form a second transport ring - an analogue of the Garden Ring in Moscow, only rectangular. The ring runs along the city walls that were demolished during its construction. (The first ring is no longer there) There is also a third, fourth and fifth (analogous to the Moscow Ring Road).
Advice from Anniri: 1. A tourist can limit himself to knowledge of the second and third rings. Why am I writing this? To help you navigate, because... You will encounter the second transport ring (its name is Erhuanlu) almost every day. Wherever you go - by taxi or bus - you are unlikely to pass it. The fact is that exits from this ring are quite rare. We have to spend extra time, money, and in traffic jams there are also nerves to get to the right place. Look atmap of Beijing: maybe it makes sense, to save all this, it’s enough to get to the second ring and cross to the other side via a pedestrian bridge or passage?
How much does a taxi cost in Beijing? The cost is calculated at 2 yuan per kilometer, that is, approximately 11.5 rubles.
When setting off along the route or from any other city, you should take care of orientation in advance - download a map or guide to Beijing (free or in special improved versions), or use Google map. Now to the issue of outside help. Finding a Russian or Russian-speaking guide or translator in Beijing is not a problem; the price of the service, as a rule, is 100-250 dollars, as agreed.
