Beautiful photographs!!! Thank you for sharing.
I've added most of your tps to my bookmarks, thanks for sharing . We are excited to be planning our trip for this Fall to China. Happy Birthday too!!
great tips Alice. I can't wait to go in June. Lots of wonderful info here. I'll look forward to hearing more at the big Perth meet. See you in a few weeks time. Hugs, Rosie
Great to see your tips with your personal views. I really enjoyed your page!
Always fun to see what other people think of Beijing...so it was interesting to read your pages. Glad that you seemed to enjoy it! But why was your husband an invited guest i wonder?
Gee, after reading a few of your China pages Alice, I think I want to go now :o) I think your guide Alvin will prove very popular here on vt matey! And you food pix are making me hungry haha! Off to see your next destination. Cheers, Ann :o)
Nice page on Beijing. We also used Alvin as our guide end of October last year, who was extremely helpful! Looks like a nice part of the wall you visited.
Great Beijing pages here! Glad Alvin worked out for you. Agree that SongHe is about the best hotel for location and money.
