Across from Tiananmen Square is a clock counting down to the opening ceremonies,
and the controversial Bird's Nest Sports Complex can be found downtown.
Even the Forbidden City and Summer Palace are getting some touchups, although Tiananmen Gate seems intact.
Oops, sorry Chairman Mao. Didn't mean to cover your picture.
The buildings in the Forbidden City have recently been painted. . .
which accentuate its grandeur. Here is a picture of our guide Belinda (not Melinda):

My favorite part of the Forbidden City is the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Why? Because of the name, of course! Do I look harmonious? That was my goal.
The Summer Palace where the infamous Dragon Lady lived is quite lovely.
Sorry for the quick tour of an awesome day. Beijing is truly a great city, but I gotta run!
