Beijing Days 1-2 (Forbidden City, Summer Palace, Museum of the People, Tiananmen Square, Hutongs, Tai Chi, Temple of Heaven)

The proper way to tour the old town.

This lovely little lady showed me around her family's home in the traditional hutong neighborhoods of Beijing.



Tai Chi time

"Right Rice Ball"

Temple of Heaven

Museum of the People






Our friends Socrates, Confucius, Lao Tzu, Jesus, the Buddha, and Karl Marx



Walking through the third and final wall.  It takes the better part of 30 minutes just to walk into the temple complex.



The Last Emperor



The Summer Palace.  It seems the royal family found the world's largest palace complex to be quite stifling during the summer months.
