Hello, and welcome to another edition of China Horizons, the weekly feature program brought to you by China Radio International. I'm your host, Du Lijun.
In today's program, we'll first meet a little girl from the area in southwestern China that was hit by the devastating May 12 earthquake and hear about her Olympic experience in Beijing.
Then we'll visit some of the modern architectural standouts in the ancient capital.
And finally, in our travel segment, On the Road, our guide Wu Jia will take us on a bicycle tour around Beijing, traveling down old lanes and courtyard residences to explore the depths of the city.
For all this and more, stay tuned to China Horizons on China Radio International.
