August 09, 2001 - Beijing, China
Prayer flags announcing another exhibit of Tibetan art and Chinese propaganda to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the "peaceful liberation" of Tibet in 1951.  This exhibit is in the Forbidden City complex.  Great art, but full of the Big Lie.
Pictures from the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven, two of the must-sees in the old Imperial capital
Pooh and Tigger dress up in local garb to see the Forbidden City.
Peking duck:  mmmm.....
Practicing calligraphy outside the Temple of Heaven by writing in water on the sidewalk.  Ephemeral art of the highest form.
Riding a dragon at the Temple of Heaven.
More dragons on the roof tiles.
