The Great Wall of China - complete with a cheesy 'One World One Vision' Olympic sign in the background. Nice wall though! This is the most touristy stretch at Badalang, but to be honest its still well worth a look - the wall winds up and down the mountain in a particularly serpentine way.
Gary with a nicely snake-like wall behind him!
And look in the other direction, and you see yet more wall winding up and down, on and on into the distance.
One of the gateways to the Forbidden City in Beijing. It is a truly huge complex, all tilled in yellow ceramic (the colour of the Emperor apparently) . It is very difficult to photograph the place simply because of the size - you get a better impression with the next photo... a view from the park behind the City. The artificial hill from which this photo was taken was made from the earth dug up when the moat around the Forbidden City was made!
One of the nice parks in Beijing - lots of water, pagodas, gates etc. Very pretty, and good to wander around after the vast grandeur of the Forbidden City.
