Guggenheim shines!
Everywhere you look the building glimmers and moves! The shapes hold your interest for ages.
The surrounding courtyard is also impressive! The 39 foot tall Puppy sculpture, at the entry is impressive. Made completely from flowers. It was sadly under scaffold for flower change out, the day we were there but it's beauty still peaked through.
And we can't forget the SPIDER on the river Nervion side. Vendors capitalize on both equally!
The Summer Palace is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces from the Qing Dynasty. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
BeiJing, used to be Peking - so we had to have the famous Peking Duck!
We left the Great Wall and went to THE MING TOMBS - however we were disappointed to find there was nothing there except the grounds.
