Tried to pack light but still made a BIG pile!
Beijing Airport
Beijing airport garage...painted floors throughout!
The next 3 photos are at Tiananmen Square - lots of tour groups wearing similar hats to ID themselves
The next 12 photos are from the Forbidden City - "forbidden" as this was the imperial palace grounds and common citizens were not allowed to enter. Now full of tourists!
The number of mythical creatures on the roof lines indicated the importance of the occupants.
Our guide Susie - we saw the city of Beijing through her eyes!
The next two shots of some common transport methods.
Menu captions were funny - fruit doesn't look all that dry!
Chinese food CAN explode a belly...
Local restaurant we ate at
Mobile chestnut roasters - charcoal fired (the roaster...not the bike). Real fast food depending on the biking ability of the rider
The summer palace - the tower in the background is the source of imperial drinking water
