Left turn lane is on the right hand side, isn't confusing ?
OK, it's green. go go go .....
This old man made these dumplings.
This is Jingshan park, just north of the Forbidden City.
Beijing citizens love to enjoy the local park.
Yes, we were going up there, the highest point.
From the top looking at the Forbidden City.
Local people singing there. Background is the Forbidden City.
He was good....
Playing the sword dance .....
The memorial at the Tian'anmensquare
This is a special garbage collection bicycle.
Peking Roasted Duck.
Yummy
The chinese character means 'Injustice and Bitterness'. She claimed the big developers push the old people to sell their houses.
Tricycle taxi. It sits 2 customers at the back. You'd better be fit !
175M is a photo exhibition by a Frenchman, documenting a town going to be flooded for the Yangzi River Three Gorges Dam.
Kids at this age can still be seen playing on their own in the city. I love it.
This should be the way to dry underwears, ... may be not by the side of a main road.
Love the roadside food .....
Outdoor table tennis park !!
I presume this guy donate money to build this park.
I honestly think, they carved the original face out, and affix another face onto it, but the scale isn't matched.
Is it the way Beijing people park their cars ?
How the heck do I get out ?
Take me a while to figure out what are these things ? Locks ?
Another Peking Duck dinner.
4:30am in the morning, why was I here ?
Yeah, why ?
Then why were they here ?
No shit, something was going on ... something big ?
We were waiting for the Daily Flag Raising Ceremony ...
... in the middle of Tian'anmen Square. (Background is the Forbidden City)
Before ....
After .....
Countdown of the Shanghai Expo 2010 opening.
The ramps are for bicycles .... in the old days.
The unsung hero of the chinese transportation. Phoenix-brand single-speed work horse.
Beijing Arts Performance Center.
The old district ..
This building used to be one of the brothels in town.
Another one ....
Sorry for the electrician or the cable man.
Going to go throught the narrowest street in the world.
Just 2.5 feet wide.
Let's go for a walk.
They'd rather to walk the kid on the road than on the sidewalk.
This will never happen in North America.
One of the my favourites.
The transformation is live. But just held up there by the wooden pole.
Inside in 'Hutong'. Hutong is small house used to be granted by the Emperor to the high-ranked servicemen.
This guy's grandfather bought this Hutong house after the 1911 revolution.
The Hutong house displays the traditional settings.
This Hutong is listed as one of the official tourist residences.
Peking duck is a vaccum sealed takeout package. You wanna try one ? It is microwavable.
It reads, 'Do not throw your garbage here'
Typical chinese tourists. When they got tired, they just sit or squat anywhere.
This is poster by the government, counting no. of blue sky days in Beijing by year.
More delicious food.
Meatball
A street where the traditional meets the modern culture. Very hippy and yuppy.
Still using the household coal ....
YOHOO ....
Inside a restaurant in the Nan LuoGuZiang.
West gate of Peking University
He is really studying ...?
Foreign Language Faculty in Peking University.
Inside the campus, a pond for students to relax.
This lady was selling pineapple, no cover, on a very busy and dirty roadside.
The main storm drain next to the campus.
Main gate of the TsingHua University.
The original TsingHua college
TsingHua and Peking University are like Oxford and Cambridge. Big time Rivalry schools.
