4 Nights in Beijing

Phew! - Though having to pay for a really expensive SQ ticket and squeeze as much sight-seeing as possible over a 4-day long weekend, i must say that it's still really worth it. Every chinese has got to visit the chinese capital and every chinese man has got to climb the great wall, isn't it? Been there, done that!

Beautiful tree-lined boulevards among ancient architecture

Prayer ceremony at the Lama Temple

One of many magnificent structures at the immense Summer Palace

Stone boats build with absconded funds by Empress Cixi

Sections of the Great Wall at Badaling

Forbidden City - World's biggest Palace complex

Throne hall reputed to hide the forged will that made Yongzheng Emperor

Another palace hall, this place is really really huge
