When I attended the 10 months Command and Staff Course in China, this was my routine:
During weekdays, I focused my time and effort in attending classes, crafting powerpoint presentations, writing turn-ins, and researching and preparing my thesis.
During weekends, and holidays, I concentrated my energy and attention to explore the tourist destinations in Beijing.
Indeed, a well-balanced life for 10 months in China.
One of the destinations in Beijing that I fortunately visited was a place comparable to DISNEYLAND. The place was still undergoing massive development to maybe be abreast with the most popular theme park in the world.
The SHIJINGSHAN AMUSEMENT PARK
in Beijing has a slogan;
"Disney is too far to go, please come to Shijingshan."
The Shijingshan Amusement Park is about 15 Kilometers away from the center of the City proper of Beijing. It has an area of 350,000 square meters divided into 4 theme districts; The East District, West District, Adventure World, and Fantasy World. I has more than 50 thrilling entertainment facilities including: Wind God Roller Coaster, Canyon Rafting, Shenzhou Roller Coaster, Dazzle in the Sky, Jones Adventure, Ollie Water Fight, Dancing in the Air, $D Movie Hall, Mine Cart, Soar, Flying Wings, Kingkong Magic Wheel, Jurassic Adventure, Giant Wheel, Arab Flying Carpet, Ghost House among others.
