As holidays go, Peter Cheung's must take some beating.
The Brighton man is in Beijing - capital of China
- for the Chinese New Year.
Together with his son Daniel, he's visiting the city for the first
time.
So far they've been to see some impressive sights
- the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace as well as the famous
night food market.
We couldn't miss an opportunity like this, so we've asked Peter
and Daniel to send us a regular weblog of their travels in China.
