|  | Inside the Forbidden City Rivals the Great Wall of China in the impression it makes. Awe-inspiring and easy to visit again, and again, and again. Majestic architecture, innovative horticulture, stunning art, all appearing from the mists of countless generations. |
Tempo of Wangfujing Street Wangfujing is the commercial heart of Beijing. Sun Dong Ann plaza is one of many vast shopping centres in bold testimony of China's economic expansion. | | |
| | Imperial Suzhou Street Where the Emperor could shop without having to mix with the plebs. Build for his sole use and situated within the grounds of the Summer Palace. |
Donghua Yeshi night market Not your typical Western fare, but interesting none the less. We kept to the hutong's where we became afficionados of Beijing duck and Sichuan cuisine. | | |
| Monument to the Peoples Heroes |
| | Renmin yingxiong jinian bei With Mao's Mausoleum in the background, he Monument of the Peoples Heroes stand sentinal near the centre of Tainanmen Square, the largest public space in the world. |
Exquisite art Dating from antiquity, this is one of the many artistic gems on display within the Forbidden City. | | | Figurine in Forbidden City |
