北 京 Day 1...sleepy day..

We took 12am flight to beijing on 9 Oct..reached around 6am..i din really sleep well in the plane..kinda uncomfortable sleeping..missing my bed badly indeed..

We took our buffet breakfast @ the airport..there's quite a no. of variety..oni @ S$3 per pax..wow!

Thereafter we proceed to our 1st destination..the Beijing Oylmpic 2008 countdown clock..


天 安 门 广 场 was so crowded early in the morning. Our tour guide said it was worse during their national day Oct 1-7 as they were given 7 days public holidays & many China ppl seems to gather in Beijing places of interest..walao..


This is what i'm doing most of the time, busy videotaking (other than posing as my dear's model).. and my dear FOREVER busy taking photos lo...


Welcome to 故 宫 ! Let's take a look at the Emperor's place...


Very big hor...


Our tour guide started talking about history again..v interesting..my mummy v smart..sit down & listen..haha..


Emperor's Chair..wow..looks antique indeed..


Now we are going to enjoy 宫 廷 御 膳 !


After our emperor's lunch, we proceed 卢 沟 桥. a very long jounery..really worth going coz 意大利旅行家马可·波罗在他的游记中称赞“它是世界上最好的、独一无二的桥”。桥东为宛平县城，明崇祯十一年（１６３８年）建。１９３７年７月７日，日本帝国主义在此发动全面侵华战争。宛平城的中国驻军奋起抵抗，史称“卢沟桥事变”（亦称“七七事变”）。


桥身两侧石雕护栏各有望柱１４０根，柱头上均雕有卧伏的大小石狮共５０１个，神态各异，栩栩如生。


This photo seems very...err...what r u thinking? ;p
