We visited lots of markets. The local markets were the most interesting, versus the tourist markets. We did not get close to the chickens!

The scenery was spectacular, but the weather was humid and rainy, so there was lots of haze, which is pretty typical for this time of year.

This is the sister ship to the one we took down the Yangtze through the Three Gorges. It was very nice - our first cruise!

The main hall was huge, but this is only one of several areas of Warriors, most of which have not been excavated, nor has the Qin (Chin) emperors tomb. He did this in about 200BC, rather than have his army burried with him, as was the custom. His succes

Some of the wall was still not renovated. The Ming Dynasty renovated much of it in the 14-1500's and then modern China continued the renovation after the Cultural Revolution, in the 90's.

Our first stop was Tianamen Square and Mao's tomb, which we didn't visit. We walked through the Forbidden City but it was crowded and just a bunch of buildings and courtyards - not very photogenic.
