Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing and the Graet Wall.

Beijing was an amazing city. It blends the old with the new in a very interesting way. Even though construction is everywhere in preparation for the Olympics, the city is remarkable to experience. The Great Wall, Forbidden City & Temple of Heaven Park are all must see's!
