Tuesday February 15 1999
On the Steelworks Branch

My pictures at Chengde are my most disappointing of the trip. The weather was bright but we never really got good clear sun. Also user incompetence, something I had fortunately hadn't been overly troubled by earlier in the trip, helped me waste a good few decent opportunities. However I am very happy with the black and white shots I took. Hopefully the scans do them justice !

From Chengde we moved to Beijing to do the tourist bits.
