Beijing 2009

I visited Beijing for a few days in mid-November 2009. The weather was cold and snowy during my stay. It was a hurry trip and I was rather busy with the meetings during the day. Most of the snapshots captured were at night when I went out for dinner / shopping. I have not been to Beijing for over 10 years. Many places in the city center have been beautifully renewed. There Bird's Nest is also very impressive. Wish I could bring my tripod for some decent shots. Anyway, it was an enjoyable trip to see the city in white.
