Beijing

by easterntrekker - last update: Oct 19, 2007

WE are surprised at how modern the city is as we deive in from the airport. Lots of skyscrapers with brilliently lit lights. In in the morning the smog is heavy and everything looked grey.

This city of 16 million has been working hard to get ready for the 2008 olympics. There are countdown clocks all over the city. There is construction going on everywhere and we are told heavy industry has been relocated to help clean the air. They still have alot of room for improvment.

 Excellent page on Beijing. Nice to have Peking duck in Peking itself. Great tip about the new traffic jam. I have gotten a ticket for the Olympic Games opening. Cheers from Penang, SL :)
