Right across from it is Tiananmen Square and Mao's Tomb:
The People's Flag and the Army Guards:
Next it was on to the Forbidden City:
The Lions and gardens inside:
Then we went to visit the Peoples Silk Factory:
There we met two girls from Faiths home town of Luoyang, who helped us pick out a silk dress for her. They were very sweet:
We then went to a very traditional middle class home in Beijing. They were an older couple who owned a Quadrant home and lived on a pension of 3000 RMB a month. For extra money they allow tourists to visit their home during the week. They were very nice and explained their unique home to us.
Tomorrow we visit a Jade factory and take Holly's spaceman to the Great Wall of China!
