After not really enough sleep, we were up and ready for the first tour of Beijing. After the bus driver successfully threaded his way through the chaotic traffic, our first stop was the Beijing Zoo, and the Panda Exhibit, especially the new Olympic Panda House, the 8 Giant Pandas brought in especially for the exhibit.
The next stop was the Summer Palace of the Chinese emperors. A very serene place overlooking a man made lake constructed to look like a real lake in western China.
Our final stop was the Temple of Heaven, a large complex dedicated to prayers for various things, including the Hall Of Praying For A Good Harvest.
