Beijing Photo Gallery. The Trans-Siberian Train Trip

Beijing

Both the TransManchurian and TransMongolian routes start or finish in Beijing, so you’ll probably be spending some time here. As the capital roars into the 21^st century the economy is booming and Beijing is aiming to show the city off to the world by hosting the 2008 Olympics. More info.

	The Army of Stewardesses		Ulan Bator-Beijing... No doubts, that’s our train
	I love this picture... Another Mongolian railway station. And the most impressive wasn’t the color of the sky, but that the camera was able to catch it... :)		They were changing the width of the axis of the train!
	At least we had one English form. Take a look to the one on the left		The width in China is exactly 7.37 hands
	Don’t ask me what are those red, blue and white things... However, the green stuff, is, as it couldn’t be otherwise, rice.		A clean woman
	I cannot stand up early at all... I appear suffering in front of Qianmen’s door, at one side of Tian An Meng square, one of the doors of Beijing’s old wall		“You, the bastard with the camera, out of the queue!”
	All this hughe building in the middle of Tian An Men place just to put inside the mummy of Mao himself...		Entrance to the Forbidden City
	Wodden lightning conductors in the Forbidden City. The whole Forbidden City was built using wood, so the storms with thunder and lights were really dangerous for the buildings		Always Coca Cola...
	I want that hairdress!		They were selling really strange food. In some restaurants you could openly ask for dog’s meat...
	The Badaling area of the Great Wall, near Beijing		It doesn't look so steep on TV, damn it!
	When the slope was over, then you found stairs, not really better...		And there are accidents... you start running without almost noticing it, and then you cannot stop till the slope finish...
	The woman washes the clothes and put them to dry with the pure air of the highway... Yeah, it will kill any other smell...		The new railway station...
	If you sit there and speak, the sound bounces on the smooth and parabolic surface of the floor and the lateral, and you hear yourself amplified when speaking. Scary!		Street hairdresser
	If this guy puts his hands on Ronaldo, he will be ready to play in 10 minutes...		From underwear to Rolexes, absolutely everything you could need
