Jan 14, 2008, Huaren Tower

These pictures were taken on the top of Huarun Building, one of the best office building, I am lucky to have a chance to take following pictures.

Today is very foggy, so cannot see clearly far away…

Two big buildings that you can see stand above others, one is the CCTV Tower on the left, and another is going to be an office building

This is the Jianguomen Flyover, by the time I was taking this picture, the time was about 1:00 PM, so you cannot see too much traffic.

The following 2 pictures were taken towards the west, the old part of the city, where you can see the old one-floor traditional Peking’s Siheyuan (courtyard) building, with some big buildings around.

East of Tiananmen Area

On July 20, 2005, a very humiid day, I visited the Changpu Park, which is located at the east side of the Foribidden City. The park was renovated and open to public in 2003. From the name “Changpu” (meaning calamus), we know there was the moat of the Forbidden City going through in history.

There is no admission fee for this lovely park, it is a ideal place after a long walk around the Tian”an Men Square or Forbidden City, quiet and clean.
