China 2009

By Al Wong

This is my experience in Beijing, China in the Summer of 2009. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story.

At Jiuzhaigou

A week into the trip and I still haven't shown a picture of a public telephone in China! Here's what a typical public pay phone looks like. It's mostly silver with a black receiver and a yellow LCD display. If you look closely, there are no slots for coins. Instead, there is a slot for a phone card. So in order to use a pay phone, you must buy a prepaid phone card first.

The booth shape surrounding the phone varies. This booth happens to be in Jiuzhaigou.
