| August 07, 2001 - Xian & Beijing, China |
|
| A typical Xian traffic jam; it only took an hour to get out of town. |
| Some scenes from the old Han and Tang capital of China (Xian) and the Yuan, Ming, Qing and Communist capital (Beijing). |
 |
| Some prime Chinglish at a tomb outside Xian. |
| The massive mausoleum of the Han dynasty Mao emperor outside Xian. Check out the processional avenue lines with statues of people and animals. Our emperor seems to have had an ego the size of his Communist namesake's. |
| Beijing. The hordes stream into the Forbidden City by the busload. |
 |
| One of the Dogs of Fo that always guard a Chinese temple. This one, in the Forbidden City, was one of the best ones we saw. |
| STARBUCKS!!! (In the heart of the Forbidden City.) |
