Little ol' Me at the entrance of the Shenyang Palace.
At the back seat of the deluxe bus. It is a public transit bus that cost 2 yuan instead of 1. Note the 2 flat screen LCDs playing music videos.
Entrance of the BeiLing Park that is suppose to have a really nice lighted walkway. However, today the lights were broken.

A restaurant on the way to the park.
A senior high school on the way to the park. Note the neon Palm trees.
Here is a clearer picture done at a faster shutter speed.
This hotel and restaurant has a real huge lighted sign with a nice chase light sequence. With this kinda hotels with light shows, you would figure you were in Las Vegas!!
