Jade cabbage


At the Juyong Guan of the Great Wall.

The inscription of Mao Zedong's famous words "You're not a real man if you haven't climbed the Great Wall". (Admittedly, the comment sounds a lot better in Chinese than the translated version.)










Juyong Guan is one of the three greatest passes of the Great Wall of China.

A painting done using the "jing tai lan" style. Jing Tai Lan or Cloisonne refers to an art form developed in the Ming Dynasty. It is a multi-step enamel process used to produce jewelry, vases, and other decorative items.

I was really excited to see this souvenir coin machine in Beijing :)

Birthday wishes in the form of these red boxes.


Paper cutting of the "Fu" character

Shui Li Fang, the Beijing Olympic swimming pool.

Niao Chao (or the Bird's Nest) - the Beijing National Stadium. I thought the architecture was fabulous :D

At the Wangfujing Street.
