The 6th of 7 - Beijing

The great wall was the 6th of the 7 wonders of the world that I saw (I miss Machu Picchu... yet). For itself, it is a good reason to go to Beijing. But there's a lot more to see there, and Beijing is not the only interesting city of China. Progress is noticeable everywhere, and the obsession of the Olympic Games dominates everything in town, accelerating investments and organization. I think it was the perfect time to go there!
