This is my first business trip to Beijing, and with only a day for R&R, my choice of travel would have to be the Imperial Palace. Yes I didn't choose to climb the Great Wall, as the Forbidden City is just too great an attraction to be missed.

The visit to Beijing has certainly opened up my eyes to this city of vast history, culture & space. There is so much to know about the city, and it would certainly take more than a day to see them all.

And another travel trip awaiting....
