On the way to Beijing, China, an interesting and unique Travel Destination.

 

 

 
We arrive in the port city of Xingang, get off the boat, board a bus, and head out for Beijing....

I wanted to give our website visitors an idea of what China was like in the countryside on the way to Beijing, an hour and a half to two hour bus ride from the port.  Therefore I took lots of pictures as you can see.  As you can tell, the air pollution seemed pretty bad that first day, and the second as well. Very hazy.

Ordinary looking streets. Wait...the traffic lights are sideways... An interesting sculpture.
Here we begin to get into a more rural area....

 
     
Pictures of giant apartment buildings in China
Many many huge building way out there. Does everyone over here live in giant apartment buildings. Goodyear.  I wonder why there are so many English words in China?
     
Lots of big looking factories and plants of various types.    
     
     
     
  We always seem to see interesting street lights.  
     
Pictures of construction cranes in China Selling farm goods along the side of the roads
Everywhere you look there are construction cranes.  I've never seen so damned many cranes. Huge buildings being built everywhere you look. Selling farm goods along the side of the roads seems pretty common.
     
And now out into the countryside.

 
     
     
  Seems like there are a lot of young new trees planted along side the freeways. People planting more trees.  Maybe it has to do with the upcoming Olympic games?
     
 
       
       
Pictures of Chinese gas station.  
  A Chinese gas station. Lots of big huge freeways all over the place. And lots under construction too.  
       
 
  Something is burning. Very many industrial looking areas spread along the freeways.  
       
off in the distance there are still those giant apartment buildings.  
Hard to take pictures that don't have any buildings in them. At least they are not high rises. Yet off in the distance there are still those giant apartment buildings.  
       
 
  I didn't take that many pictures of them, but there were more of these canals than you can count.    
       
 
  We stopped for a bathroom break on the way to Beijing. It was so cold you couldn't believe it.
