James, Ha ha, I wish I could go too. My friend, Jon, went last year. Told me it was amazing and gave me his photos for ChinaTravel.net. So basically, this is my jealousy talking. Can't go this year. Maybe next year. And if anybody goes this year, please send me the photos.

I had a great time there last year. Where did you stay Rebekah?

I wish I could go, although I find the sculpture of the People's Parthenon (my name for it) to be oddly unsettling.
