I took this on the wall around Zi'an when we were there.

China is a fascinating country. Forget the politics, the history and interesting places to see makes me want to go back and explore other parts. Having done the wall- forbidden city and the terra cotta army that part I would now give a miss to, but if never seen then a definate must do on anyones list.

Their 5* hotels are more like our 3* in the UK

Typical back streets of Bejing




for the tourists



Chinese exercising




musicians ???


Was it painful to listen to? nearest I can describe it is as to Tom Cats at choir rehearsals.
