Friend's visit to Beijing in Oct. (click on each photo to see more pix)

CCTV - many chinese say it looks like a pair of pants. also many old ppl watched it being built and called in when the "legs" start to lean, saying that the constractor should check if they are building it wrong - meaning not straight

Jingshan Park - racing up the hill in this park north of Forbidden City, you get a panoranmic view of Beijing all around you, descend the hill, we found many locals dancing, singing, playing chess, discussion current issues and politics

Great Wall - 金山岭 司马台, if you don't want to see wall of ppl, if you want to have really sore thighs days afterwards, come here






Summer Palace - there is no grass and very few trees in Forbidden City, so the emperor and his entourage, come here for boating, for greenary, to relax in this palace-park place

Haohai - now it is the hip yet with traditional style bar and resto area in Beijing

Forbidden City
