Our three days in Beijing included trips to the Forbidden City, the Emperor’s Summer Palace, the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square and dinner and entertainment at the Great Hall of the People. Here are some photos–including one of the ambulance that followed the tour group–just in case someone fell off the Great Wall.

Really fascinating. Great pictures. Can’t believe the size of the wall! The wall which The Donald plans to build will be quite a bit smaller.
Love seeing the pictures and reading the reports!

I love the photographs and commentary.
Incredible ! Hard to imagine the scope of what went into getting that wall built. Great photos and reporting .
Funny about the ambulance – it could have given you comfort to know it was nearby but I think it would have made me more nervous. I’m glad it wasn’t needed! Really great pictures
