Beijing City Tour

The plan was to tour the important sites around Beijing on a Saturday and then Sunday would be for the Great Wall tour. The city tour was very tiring: 3 major spots that all involved long walks. We started the tour at around 8:30 am and ended around 5 pm. I'll be back in Beijing in November so we'll have to postpone the Great Wall tour.

There were 4 of us who travelled to Beijing from the US. Julie flew back on Friday morning and Doug left midday Friday. Svetlana and I will be working here till Friday and will fly back to the US next Saturday.

Here are some of the pictures that were taken yesterday - change the slideshow setting to 6 or 7 seconds to view the captions:
