I’ve spent a lot of time in Beijing. I was a Mandarin language student at Tsinghua University and have been back many, many times since then. Here are a few snapshots from my last visit…
With Mao…
Shopping for Mao-morabilia…
SO excited to be in a taxi to the Great Wall…
Strolling to the Bird’s Nest…
Inside the Bird’s Nest…
A (slightly frightening) roller coaster at the Great Wall…
Temple of Heaven…
An original section of the Great Wall…
Peking duck…
Checking out the contemporary art scene…
Contemporary art (sort of)…
Mahjong on the street…
Getting rich in the hutongs…
