Best pics:
This is a little girl bowing to a girl handing out tea samples in a hutong south of Tian'anmen Square in Beijing.
This is a Buddhist monk talking on his cell phone. At the Buddhist temple in Xi'an.
And some P content: The Porsche Dealer on Chang'an in Beijing. I only saw one Porsche - a Cayenne S in Xi'an.
