My trips to China

I was from 11.04.2006 to 16.04.2006 in Beijing.

The videos: (i will add more videos later here)

The pics

My hotel, the Exhibition Center Hotel. Very cheap but nice.


The Exhibition Center.


Pics i took during my first hour in Beijing.








A pic i took near the CCTV Tower. I was 4 times on the top. The view i had during my first day was not very good, so i will post no pic.
BTW: I read everywhere that the tower is 387m (emporis,...) but the women in the tower said that the tower is 405m tall. Who is right?


Yuyuan Pond


Great Hall of the People


Tian`anmen

I took the pics from the Coal Hill. The buildings on top are under renovation. But if you risk your health you will always find a viewpoint







Inside the Forbidden City.






This is me.
