About me:

I'm the founder of Synotrip. :)

We started Synotrip to make it easier for travelers to find quality information about travel and life in China for a whole bunch of Chinese cities. Turns out it's a never ending project! China's huge! I still post pictures, reviews and listings but my main focus now is on making the site better for everybody else.

Besides Synotrip, I run a business that provides foreign businesses with Chinese-language Internet marketing and Chinese website translation services. I also run a blog about...well...I guess it's about the different things that I come to think about while working on Chinese translation or digital marketing projects.

A cozy atmosphere, decent food, live music and cheap margaritas make Behind the Wall a popular hang-out, especially with the foreign student population. Inside, Behind the Wall’s three rooms are linked by over-sized arched doorways, and provide seating for groups of two to ten. Mexican, Latin and Greek cuisine is served. The drink menu is varied and not too expensive

I was impressed by the distinctive local features of this restaurant.  As you approach the entrance, two elderly male hosts wearing white mandarin jackets, white round dicers, and towels on their right shoulder enthusiastically direct you inside.

Our experience on the tram and The Peak wasn't so great. First we waited for a long time in a packed line up, then took the tram up. The tram was fun because of the steep angle. Then we got to the top and everybody has to take about 8 stories of escalators. When we finally got up, it was so packed that we couldn't even enjoy the view at all!

There's actually a better view near one of the bathrooms, than there is by the main viewing area.

If our feet weren't so sore, we could have wandered around some paths and probably found another place to enjoy the view.

This was a poor choice for our last stop of the day. :(
