I feel like a new person.
I climbed the great wall this morning, had lunch in the National History Museum, walked Tiananmen Square, touched the monument for China's People's heroes and wandered through the Forbidden City. I regret that weren't able to go to Mao's grave.
The Gate of Heavenly Peace is even more incredible live than in the photos we've all seen.
The sky this evening is clear as I watch the sunset through the haze in the Beijing sky.
We depart Beijing tomorrow for Jinan in Shandong Province.
