Beijing - Tiananmen Square

The entrance to the Forbidden Palace lit up at night.

It’s been a long time since my last post.  Too long.  Too busy.

Even now I only have a little time to post some photos from the Spring Festival trip to Beijing.  Here are some of my favorites from Tiananmen Square.  Over the following week(s) I will post some more photos from Beijing.  Do enjoy!

Forbidden Palace Entrance at night, just north of Tiananmen Square.

Here is the walking (shopping and eating) street just south of Tiananmen Square. It took a while to wait for a clear shot, as people were all over this place.

A tower monument and governmental building at Tiananmen Square. During the night tourists are not allowed onto the square so all pictures were taken from across the road.

Your typical tourist shot of the Forbidden City entrance from Tiananmen Square. Luckily the area was not very crowed as Beijing citizens and Chinese tourists were few due to the Spring Festival.

   I was able to watch some of the games online but my internet connection is not the greatest. It was a fun run into the Final Four. Looking forward to next year.
