... side for bikes. It's huge. Tiananmen Square is directly across the street from the Forbidden City and right beside Tiananmen Square are the Chinese Parliament building. All along the street are grand opera halls, large hotels, office buildings, etc. It's a pretty incredible street.

... had sat out in the sun all day. Our last day (morning) in Beijing and we visit the 798 Art Exhibition on recommendation from San Fransiscan grafitti artist that we had met in our hostel. Based in a disused industrial site, it blended well with all the works of modern art; some excellent and some truly awful.
