Photos continue in Beijing…..
Buildings in Beijing
Getting into downtown – notice the lanterns are still hanging
Looks fairly new
Trees will look nice when they leaf out
Wide streets for large businesses
Old style pagoda
Like the look better
Older structure
So many different buildings
No two alike
Snow on the trees
It was freezing here
Large building
Towers
Park something or other
The trees make the place nicer
Signs in the city
One of many businesses
Gray color is everywhere
Newer
Bigger
And better
Windows are numerous
Must be difficult keeping them clean
Now this is way weird
More conventional
More traditional
Apartments
Room door in Beijing
Bathroom
Bathroom in the Shangri-La, Beijing
Our room for one evening
That is snow in their garden
Did not melt quickly
A garden pagoda house
Checking out the menu
A tasty local beer
Actually, two beers
The café for international cuisine
Also the place for breakfast
Oh yes…….cheese and tomato pizza
Hot and crispy
Chocolate fountain
Lobby of the Shangri-La
Tea in the afternoon
Landscaped grounds
The garden
Bill looks freezing
It was below freezing
We did not stay outside too long
Must be a lovely garden in the spring and summer
Today, it is snow-covered
Chinese style garden
Bridge over a creek
Looks cold because it was
Watch your step
The color red is lucky in China
A corner fountain
The creek was empty
Look what we found
A Terra Cotta Warrior replica
Close to the size they are
Little girl and her mom making snowballs
Let's go back inside
Playing the harp at tea time
Tea goers
The wedding cart
Nicely designed
Spacious lobby
Now this is what we call a teddy bear
Hotel shops
