The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page. - Saint Augustine
This sentence is written on the first page of the welcome book of Renaissance Hotel Beijinng. I love it so much!
I just returned from my short trip to Beijing. It is a very nice business trip on the business side, but for the travel side, it is boring - the exact same flight - MU (China Eastern Airlines) to and back, the same good hotel - Renaissance Hotel. I have to say I read the same page twice in a month.
I hope I will change the travel plan next time.
Alternatives
One of the alternative is to go to Beijing via train. It is still a very attractive option since it not only save hotel expense for one night, it also provide good thinking time. It also give you some sense of the distance to cover - you know the small stations along the railway.
Although I love the Renaissance Hotel in Beijing very much - better than Hilton, I may still need to try new hotels the next time.

Continuing with my discussion on train from Shanghai to Beijing, I have updated information. Check this entry: Train from Beijing to Shanghai. It is a very comfortable and well arranged service.
