The week before his birthday, Graham was once more very fortunate to be given
the opportunity of some business travel to distant shores. This time it
was a trip to Beijing. Business concluded early, and for once he had some
spare time to be a tourist. Here's a brief photographic history.
Chairman Mao's mausoleum in
Tiananmen square
Entrance to the Forbidden City
at the end of Tiananmen Square
The opposite end of the
Forbidden City
The monument to the
People's Heroes in
Tiananmen Square
Statue of one of the Ming
Emperors. The pile of money
in front has been left by
visitors for good luck.
Sign says 'Cherish the
cultural relic please don't
scribble'!
Graham managed to find
himself some alternative
employment whilst there.
The Great Wall, an amazing
sight.
It is quite steep in places.
