Beijing, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, is one of my favorite cities. There are many interest places to go in Beijing. There are three that I like most, and they are Forbidden City, Tienanmen Square, and Great Wall. I still remember the first time that I went to Beijing. It was summer time, and I really feel tired after I visited the Great Wall, because the weather is too hot. Besides these interest places, I also love the food in Beijing. For example, the Peking duck and hot pot are my favorite. Thus, Beijing is my favorite city.

My favourite place in the world
They've travelled all over the globe but if they could return to just one special place which would it be? Carl Wilkinson asked 15 of the world's top travel writers to choose their all-time favourite destination
What appeals to me about revisiting Khotan is that it's like jumping back in time, like going back to the still heart sitting at the centre of Asia. It's a little-known oasis city in the middle of north-west China with the Taklimakan Desert to its north. The Taklimakan is the deadliest desert on earth - its name means 'once you go in you never come out'.
You have to be rather determined to get to Khotan. There's no railway. You have to take a bus from Kashgar, which is several hundred miles to the north-west. It's been closed to foreigners until fairly recently and I first went a couple of years ago. It has a great history. It was on the 2,000-year-old southern Silk Road between China and the West so it has a feel of ancientness about it. You can wander off into the desert on a day's camel ride and find ruins and the tombs of holy men sitting in this very strange and very dead desert. They still manufacture hand-spun silk in the old-fashioned way. You can wander about the rivers that come down from the Tibetan plateau and find jade in them.
The city appeals to me because it escapes any strong sense of belonging to a particular nation or even to a particular period of history. It belongs to a world when national boundaries and identities didn't really exist, when people identified themselves more by religion or city or clan. That's part of its appeal.
What I think you gain from visiting it is a sense of proportion. The urgency of the modern is not present. You gain a sense of quietude. It's a multicultural city in that it's a little bit Chinese, a little bit Indian and it's Islamic. The effect is of a multi-layered city which is so ethnically diverse that you feel like you're meeting the world there.

My favourite columnist
I do a sort of regular slot on Saturday mornings on the Adrian Chiles show on Radio 5. I've referred before to my annual jousts on it with Yasmin Alibhai-Brown; the producers know a good thing when they see it, and have us on the last programme of the year to do a round-up, knowing that sparks will, as they say, fly.
Anyway, the show has been off the air for nearly two months for the World Cup, and it's back on Saturday. Guess who's on with me. Yup, you got it...for it is she.
