Playing around...

In Beijing

This was my favorite place in the Capital. In the Summer palace I could really picture XiXi being mean to all...

The Great Wall of China

Me resting in Peace

Beijing, the Forbidden City

wasn't forbidden for us at all...

The Great Wall

Of course She had to drag me to the other end of the Wall too in Jiayuguan.

Cuandixia

We have visited this amazing tiny village just off Beijing the people of China were really frinedly and I'm proud of my origin : )

Chinese Gardens

I felt really proud to be hatched in a country with so many gorgeous gardens.

After we saw his house and temple we went to see his tomb. Qufu was a really cool place. we made many friends there and the food was good. ( no chicken)

Confucius , Mao and many other famous people climbed the 6666 steps to the summit. I didn't count, -nor was I present as I travel these days in her camera bag- but Kat read it in the Lonely Planet, so we belived that it is true...

Tai Shan

On the top.. Mao claimed from this summit that "The East is Red"...

I sat along with all the junk the Chinese tie and lock around the marbel reminder that we climbed 1545 meter altitude
