Thirty years after Mao, China has entered her modern age. I haven't been to Beijing for 6 years and Shanghai for 20 years. The changes are absolutely astounding. I not only experienced the changes how amazing the Chinese cities I visited are, I also noticed people are much worthier than they were 6 years ago. The most of my friends are unbelievably rich.

Between August 7 and August 31, 2008, we enjoyed 24 days in China this summer. We stayed in Beijing 18 days, Qingdao 2 days, and Shanghai 4 days. On our way back to US, we also stopped by Seoul, South Korea for a half day. I took a lot of pictures. I pushed my D300's shutter button 3,700 times. The pictures you are going to see here were taking with Nikon 17-55mm F2.8 and 70-200mm F2.8 VR (sometime with a 2.0 teleconverter).
