Beijing, the capital of the People’s Republic of China has been described by tourists as China’s largest theme park; for the Chinese it is the ‘Promised Land’ with its lure of prosperity. Tiananmen Square, the former stage of Cultural Revolution rallies and now a place of recreation is where Megan McCormick begins her journey. The Forbidden City, the largest and best preserved group of ancient buildings in China, kept out of bounds for 500 years by the Ming and Qiung dynasty emperors is Megan’s next stop. Following a climb to the roof of the Ancient Observatory for a great view of the city, she samples Mao’s revolutionary cooking and admires the grounds of the Lama Temple, the most colorful in Beijing, with beautiful gardens, stunning frescoes and tapestries. Later that evening Megan joins revelers celebrating the Lantern Festival during the evening of the 15th day of the first moon. Megan travels to Longquin Gorge, a canyon in Yanquin County about 60 miles north-west of Beijing before ending her journey at Beijing’s Ice Lantern Festival amidst a colorful fiesta of ice and light.
