The Palace Museum
My most favourite spot. Love my hometown.
This is an Imperial Chinese Lioness in the grounds of the Forbidden Palace, Beijing, which was constructed in the 1300s. Sometimes these are referred to as Foo Dogs and are in pairs. This is the female or lioness, as it is playing with a cub, under it’s paw. This represents nurture. They are often made of granite or cast in bronze. I was lucky enough to visit the Forbidden Palace, whilst speaking at an international leadership conference, being held in Beijing.
I did this shot in 2010 when I was in Beijing on a business trip - the Buddha is located on an artificial hill 'behind' the forbidden City.

Up on the Great Wall at Sunset Hour
This is Beijing you probably have never seen. It was taken in the cold winter night at the soon-to-be tallest building in the capital Z15 (Zhong Guo Zun). When I got up on the 98th floor, the view was stunning and it reminded me of the view from Tokyo tower somehow. I am glad I got the shot and it was one of the best shot in my life.
This panda’s name is huanhuan, raised in the beijing zoo. She is very cute, I like her very much. I took this picture when she was eating bamboo.

Tiananmen square in Beijing
The Temple of Heaven, Beijing, China. It was used to be super crowded and full of tourists. But because of the corona virus and heavy lockdown in China and rest of the world, there is barely any tourist at this iconic sight of Beijing now.
