Shanghai7 across China 2008

Arrival in Beijing's new airport, Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City

Bus 5!

This is the new Beijing International Terminal that only opened for business a week before our arrival.  It is the largest single terminal in the world, designed to look like a Chinese dragon and they hope to handle the crowds for Olympics through it.  It seemed to handle lots of people ok when we passed through on the way back to the States - when we arrived, there was nobody there (as you can tell from these photos).
