Jessica and Khee Hua visited Beijing in Apr 2001. This is Jessica's 3rd visit and Khee Hua's 1st visit to Beijing. We really like the big city ! These are some of our pictures.

We spent 2 weeks over there. We liked the big shops, the wide and busy roads. The friendly people. The great bus crush at peak hours. The unforgiving car drivers. Unfortunately I did not take many pictures of the people there.

Maybe next time...
