Beijing- Today I enjoyed a morning visit to Tiananmen Square, where I saw chairman Mao and watched the daily crowds gather before touring the Forbidden City with its Ming Palace- featured in "Hero", "The Last Emporer", and many other movies. Then we visited the Summer Palace, its imperial garden, and took a boat ride on Lake Kun. Tonight, I attended a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and had then ate an incredible Beijing duck dinner!

    Have you tried dumplings? They are the famous and traditional Beijing dieshes. And also bird's nest soup? Its a delicacy in China.

    Enjoy your days~~~
