A: Beijing City Tour Information Services, May I help you?
B: Yes. This is Mr Harris from Australia. I’d like to visit some of the historic and scenic spots in Beijing. Could you suggest some and tell me their whereabouts?
A: Sure. But can you first tell me where you are staying and how long you plan to sightsee in Beijing?
B: I’m staying at the Beijing Hotel. I’ll be in the city for 2 days.
A: Mr. Harris, your street is in Chang’an Street near ’Tian’anmen Square. So it would be a good idea if you visit Tian’anmen Square first. Then, in the north of the square is the Palace Museum.
B: Palace Museum? Is it a new museum?
A: No, it used to be known as the Forbidden City.
B: I see. Then how long do you think I need to see the two places? Half a day? Is that time enough?
A: Well, you need at least half a day to see both Tian’anmen Square and the Palace Museum.
B: I see. Then what about tomorrow?
A: I’d like to recommend the Summer Palace and Yuanmingyuan. Both of them are in the northwest suburbs of Beijing.
B: What’s interesting there?
A: The Summer Palace is famous for its beautiful scenery, large lake, and green hills dotted with colorful pavilions. Yuanmingyuan has plenty of historic rains. They are worth seeing, not to be missed.
B: How can I get there?
A: It’s easy. You can either take No. 101 bus from your hotel, or walk for a few minutes to an underground station in Chang’ an Street. Or to save a lot of time, you can take the shuttle bus. It is just around the comer from your hotel. The shuffle bus will take you directly to the Summer Palace. But it’s more expensive than taking the bus or the underground.
