The quintessential picture backdrop for anyone visiting China. The gate pictured is the gate that Mao Zedong proclaimed the People's Republic on 1 October 1949, hence his gigantic portrait.
While in Beijing, a group of us rented bikes and spent the day cycling around the city on a self-guided tour. A great way to view the city, and great exercise. The city is geared toward cyclist. There wide cyclists lanes along all roads. Even the freeway and the cars are very conscience of the cyclist and tend to look out for them.
