I haven't done heaps of sight seeing as yet. I tried to go to the Natural History Museum but it's closed on Mondays, which of course the Lonely Planet book didn't tell me! Anyhoo, after being thwarted at the museum I wandered back towards the subway station which is across the road from Tiananmen Square.
Once there I figured I would take the opportunity to visit Chairman Mao in his final resting place. Alas, I was thwarted once again by the opening days - Tuesday to Thursday. Frustrated I walked around the square for a bit. It really is massive! According to the Lonely Planet the biggest in the world, but knowing those slackers that might not be entirely accurate. I did take a few photos which I'll post eventually. Unfortunately none are particularly inspiring due to the incredible pollution/fog.
Hey TONE!
