Hmm, I couldn't find any photo in Beijing. That's weird. Why? Just because I lived there and no need to take any photo?
However, if it's your first visit, some famous views and building you should go. The Great Wall, The Imperial Palace, The Ming Tombs ... Many many places. Jus...

Take stomach medicine with you, and plenty of it! Don't eat anything that also appears in flower arrangements. Try as hard as you can to only drink bottled water (take a water bottle), and if someone offers you Chairman Mao's favorite dish (which is cubed pork fat) it may never exit your body. It's ...

We used Geographic Expeditions (www.geoex.com), a company in San Francisco. They have the most beautiful catalogues to many exotic places (they don't arrange tours to Europe, for example).

We saw Mao's statue at his campus where he studied.

Food is good and people are kind.
