Let me begin by giving permission for any of the photos to be used by the Graphics Groups. The only thing I request is that you do not use photos which have people (Friends from the group) posing in the photos. If there are local people in the backgrounds or photos from shows they can be used. Credit should be Photo By Huronna or Background by. Members of AL may tube animals if they desire but they must be donated to AL Safe Tubes.
For members of the Globus Tour group and the Cruise Director John Zhang, you have permission to take any of the photos to show or use.
The photos are different sizes due to cropping and some have been resized, others not because parts may want to be used by the graphic groups.
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me or PM me

Beijing
The Beijing Westin was another beautiful hotel.
Though we have yet to figure out why there are veniain blinds in the bathoom unless you were to loll in the tub and watch TV
We took a walk through the old area.
Do you know what those things by the tires are for?
And this is the oldest post box in Beijing
I was happy to see a few cats in our trip
Most people wear western style clothes, so I guess this was to attrach the tourist trade.
All the rickshaws were lined up waiting for their passengers. Some are licensed by the city while others are rogues. Ours even had a rickshaw license plate
We entered Tian'anmen Square near one of the remaining original gates
Tian'anmen Square is the largest public square in the world. At one end is the tomb of Mao and then there are numerous monuments in the square including a TV like screen that changes showing various areas of China.
From there were entered the Forbidden City and its Imperial Palace
The more decorations you have on your roof, the more important you are
In front of many entrances you will find the lions. The female is usually on the left with her paw on a baby,
While the male's paw is on a globe
Meet John, our Tour Director who went everywhere with us.
A visit to the Summer Palace
A ride on the Dragon Boat
And here is the cement Boat that has never gone anywhere
What a peaceful area this was
We spent one evening at the Peking Opera. It was a good thing they had an LED on the wall with translations, because who knew what they were singing....or screaching
A trip to the Jade Factory
And then on to the Great Wall which once stretched over 4000 miles
We ended out time in Beijing at the Ming Tomb Sacred Way
How big are these Statues?
And so ends our days in Beijing. Many more photos can be found
