365 China Photo: One-A-Day

I arrived back into Beijing late tonight as the flight was delayed in Hong Kong. It’s been a few months since I have travelled but I noticed these new banners in the passport control area. They say ‘welcome my friends’ in nine different languages. China is a very welcoming place and Chinese hospitality is well known throughout the world. Whenever I travel to meet a new client they are often eager to show their hospitality and offer to take me for lunch or dinner, which is just part of the Chinese culture. There was a big sign in the arrivals hall saying no photos but I couldn’t resist taking this picture. Especially as the Beijing airport is so impressive and efficient that it is always nice to come home.
