Beijing the Land of Plenty

"Hi-can you speak English." How that statement can be such a spectrum. Our first initial stop was the Temple of Heaven. If you only knew what they did there, it wouldn't be so heavenly, but still beautiful.
The park around the temple brings out the locals every day, twice a day to exercise. The exercising could be a range of different things, from flag dancing, Tia Chi, to playing instruments or singing. Some of these activities look easy but they can be quite complicating and hard.

Me out of control with my racket.


Beautiful dancing, I didn't dare try that one.


Lovely old man showing off his juggling.

A poet with her brush and water, once it dries up, a new poem to another passerby to see.
The traditional chinese flute.
Tinamen Square - so much history in this square, it brought a lot of emotions for all of us from the past to the future.
The monument of all that lost their lives that fateful night.
The Olympic countdown clock and mascots.
FORBIDDEN CITY - way too much to say and not enough space to show it. Unbelievable.
Where's Tina, could she be behind this door.


Beautiful girls dancing during our lunch.
SUMMER PALACE - The dragon lady knew what she was doing when she decided to make a summer cabin.


600 murials - so much work.

Rhonda and the beautiful boat that goes no where.

SILK FACTORY - Our day ended, but oh so tired, but still shopping to go.
Stretch girls, this must fit a queen size duvee. Maybe a chinese queen.
