China 2012-Beijing and Xi'an

Short trip to Beijing and Xi'an. It was the first time for my family and they were impressed. Did the Great Wall at Mutianyu, Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, Summer Palace, Insect Street Night market, bargaining for knockoffs at the Silk Market and riding in a death defying taxi...and that was just in Beijing. In Xi'an, its the Terra Cotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a few museums, a foot massage, The Song Dynasty Show and 21 dishes of dumplings, shopping in a supermarket (much different than here) and another death defying taxi ride.

Nice shots of your trip. The shot of the pier is so cool.
