"It is forbidden to forbid" Beijing by Guantanamera
Beijing Travel Guide: 6,188 reviews and 15,389 photos
Beijing is a fascinating city that is constantly reinventing itself. As for the Chinese people, they are the happiest and friendliest I have ever met, throughout the world... Shown here, the beautifully decorated entrance to a temple.
This image shows Tiananmen square. The gigantic bouquet of flowers was set out in preparation for National Day.

Fascinating city - I was there too in 02 - I wonder what changes we'd see from that time to now. Cheers - leyle
I liked the Temple of Heaven--it was interesting architecturally. The photo opportunity was well taken!
