Last week I had to visit Beijing on work. It was a super cold minus five degree celsius. Try as I might, I did not get time off to take much photographs. But, I did manage to get to Tianamen Square, for about an hour at lunch.

Hot Photo Tip: Best time to photograph the Tianamen Square is probably in the evenings which is when to evening sun lights up the square.
For all the usual touristy pics from this trip
