Qingdao


A view of Qingdao at seven in the morning today...

This picturesque city in eastern Shandong province has a strong German flavour (see history), currently many Korean businessmen, and will host the sailing events for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Business Travel


While traveling an average of two times a month to China's major cities, you see so many places and moments where you wish you had your camera handy or could stop the taxi to have a closer look. Below a few pics of recent trips to Beijing and Tianjin.
- At the Beijing airport; taking the bus to the plane
- The Bird's Nest, Beijing's new Olympic stadium
- Over Pudong
- Plenty of comfort inside the new Beijing-Tianjin speed train
- A three-wheeler in Tianjin
