Dear reader: Welcome! The photos on the following pages are from Noel and Evan Jones' trip to Beijing and Xi'an, China in September 2006. Some features you might enjoy include Tienanmen Square in Beijing and the Terracotta Army museum in Xi'an. Also, there is a video of our climb of The Great Wall. I've included links to Wikipedia to help readers understand the rich cultural history of each of the sites we visited. Please feel free to e-mail me with comments at my e-mail address at the bottom of each page. Enjoy!
