Four of us from the group I work for at the National Severe Storms Lab are headed to China! Myself, our fearless group leader Ken Howard, Carrie Langston and Jian Zhang. We're visiting the Ministry of Water Resources, attending meetings and providing some training for our big precipitation/flash flood system that we've been installing there.
I leave Friday, June 25 and get back Friday, July 2. We have meetings on three days, but also have a couple of free days and various free evenings or mornings to do some sight-seeing. Ken has been to Beijing several times. Jian was a student there back in the day and has been back several times also. Our hotel is located near city center, within a couple miles of Tiananmen square, the forbidden city palace complex, Mao's masoleum, the Temple of Heaven, etc.
