Before going to Beijing we had to leave Changsha airport. The bus ride to the plane gave me a chance to get photos of planes, such as these two.

And here's our plane on landing at Beijing Capital Airport. It's time for another bus ride.

The view from the shuttle train heading into Beijing. Traffic looks well behaved.

After a hard day's travel it's good to stop for a beer. The first tap beer I've had for a long time.

What I think is the main administration building of Qinghuai University.

Beijing is a city of bikes, so Qinghuai is a university of bikes.

The older buildings at Qinghuai look pretty cool, well I think so.

Catherine and her friend (who got us lost) walk through Qinghuai.

Beijing University does have some pretty impressive buildings.

It also has a flash tower in the middle of some rather nice parkland. What a nice campus.

After a hard day looking at Unis it's time for Catherine to enjoy a nice cold beer in the eatery near our hotel (like just over the courtyard).

The Forbidden City. That's as close as we got, I have no desire to fight my way through a million tourists.
