It's good to be home.

We had an exciting vacation in China (some of my family members do not share my view though  ;) ).

We spent a few days in Beijing and near-by Chengde (pictures linked by Jim) before going to my home province Sichuan (more pictures to come, but here are just a few).

I wish there is a way of including description text with each picture.

Welcome back! One of my co-workers is in China right now visiting. I'm sure he'll have lots of good photos too.

I wish there is a way of including description text with each picture.
Well, you guys are the ones with the power.  ;D

Welcome back, Yaobing!!  I'm glad you had a good time, and am very glad you made it back safe and sound.  :)

PS. The pictures are great.  China is such a beautiful place -- at least the "country" pictures you always see (though I'm well aware that, just like here, there are LOTS of ugly urban polluted places too).

There is.  It's the Caption in the tag.

Ah, I put it in the wrong place (Description).

Maybe some automatic intelligence.  Have MC check all the fields like Description, Caption, Places, People, and Keywords then have it pick them in order or best choice...Caption first, then Desc, etc.  It should pick whichever one it finds with data first.

Come on, MC is smarter than that!

Thanks to all for your greetings.


PS. The pictures are great.  China is such a beautiful place -- at least the "country" pictures you always see (though I'm well aware that, just like here, there are LOTS of ugly urban polluted places too).

I know exactly what you mean here. The first gallery I posted a week ago and the two I uploaded yesterday (
China Trip 3 and China Trip 4) represent the two extremes - polluted cities and unpolluted countryside. When we visited Forbidden City, the day was very foggy, as you can see from the pictures. I am not sure how much of it was pure "fog", and how much was due to pollution. It was probably not an accident that we got a bad day in Beijing. Someone posted some pictures that are even worse.

It has always been interesting to go to new lands and see how people live and there customs. I would say most people in the united states do not know how most people live, and morals and customs are much different (sometimes for the better).

No I am not well traveled out side of the United states, but I have been in Countries Like Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Saudi, Granada, Mexico (near Fort Bliss Texas) And Washington D.C.

I Love The History Channel, And National Geographic Channel, But is always nice to see things in real life Like the great wall in china, the pyramids in Egypt And Many unknown but scenic spots.

One of my dreams since I was a Kid was simply to Skin dive and watch the unseen world we have around us, and never get the chance to see. Today I was talking to a famous diver Charles Zimmaro Who has been diving on some of the famous ship wrecks since 1966 and also has been diving on the Texas Tower #4 Wreckage For Over 35 Years. The way he talks about the sea is like a adventure.

For fathers day this year I put up a web site www.TheTexasTowers.Com It tells the story of the men who died on it. My father was on it and got off it just before it went down. Dad looked at the pictures on the website (when he was lucid, He was diagnosed with alzheimer's recently) and mom told me he started to cry when he was remembering his friends who died.

My dad was not normally one to cry, always keeping a stern face thru all the turmoil people go thru in there normal life. A Picture can be a powerful thing conjuring up all kinds of feelings both sad and happy moments.

Recently I started digging thru all my pictures I have taken since I owned a camera, and I started Scanning them into digital format. One day I may get them all up on my website before I pass-on or the paper they are on turns colors and fade.

Thanks for the pictures Yaobing, they are really something to look at.

Nice pictures.  Beijing has really changed a lot in the last 15 years since I was first there.  I go there a couple of times a year and the city is just a big overgrown metropolitan area, but there are plenty of interesting places.

Most of my pictures end up being of food in beer for all of the countries that I am in.

I have not watched the show. The picture on the web page likely was taken in Beijing, possibly the Summer Palace.

I am glad you like the pictures. The actual scenes are more stunning than the pictures show.

I don't know if anyone's interested but my wife and I were in China in 2003 for 2 weeks. We were adopting a little girl from an orphanage.
We absolutely loved China and plan on going back to show our daughter her home country when she's around 12 years old.

Here are some pics http://themarshallfamily.ca/photo/thumbnails.php?album=13
