A wonderful city, completely different from the rest of the world, it feels like being projected into a third dimension where everything is different, where you feel you are no longer on this world, where the world seems to have stopped... other photos are published on my spaces, I took about 1000 and I couldn't put them all here, since they have to be uploaded one by one and it is a bit of a tiring system,,...come and have a look:) and if you have any questions about the trip or China in general or rather about Beijing, don't hesitate to contact me.... well.... Zaijian!^.-
