Beijing 4

LG Twin Towers- This was taken right outside the Beijing Railway Station (train station). When you get off the train, you see this.
Little Shop Street- There were a lot of high-end shops on this street (including a Starbucks, Hagendaaz ice cream, Nike, and tea shops.)
Tienanmen Temple 2- Another temple just across the street from the first one. It was all locked up, so I think no one goes inside it anymore.


Tienanmen Temple 1- The Huge Temple built on one edge of Tienanmen Square, facing the government building which holds Chairman Mao's body.



Tienanmen Square 2- Our ILP group standing in Tienanmen Square. This is where the guy stood in front of the tanks in protest of the government. People from left: Katie, Anna, Abbie, Kilee, Nathan. Bruce is taking the picture.




Beijing 3

Great Wall 0934- you can see in the middle the Wall splits into 3 different walls- weird.
Broken Wall 1009- yes, we crossed this section of the Wall.

Broken Wall 0997- Katie standing on a section of the abandoned wall. It was a few places like this where I got my rocks.


Base of the Mountain 1- you can see the China flag, the Great Wall, and part of the cable car tower.



Abandoned Wall- Bruce n Katie- We had to climb through a window on a guard tower to get to this section.
