National Day Parade Rehearsal, Beijing

Tanks, armored personnel carriers and rocket launches assemble on Dawang Lu, in front of China Central Place, in Beijing in preparation for the dress rehearsal of the National Day Parade. All shot on an iPhone and edited in a hurry, so pardon the lack of cinematic verve.

Yeah, they were all rubber tracked. The Chinese figured that one out. And the road surface was in pretty good shape afterward. They did have to test some of the bridges against the weight.

@Seninel57: I don't think anything that went past me was all that newfangled. Looks like the really awesome stuff was going over Dawang Bridge, up the road from where I was. I expect they'll spring some surprises that weren't in the rehearsal come the 1st.

I wonder if they could use "I was delayed because of the parade rehearsals" as an accuse.. ?

Where you see overflowing? All i can see is wet asphalt.

Dude, cut the bull, it appears the drains are all overflowing, dude! I've seen Beijing, not the part they like to show us, but the most part, the poverty areas, is worst than Mexico. China is a long way from being a developed country. Maybe you move to Taipei.

Hey, Chinos, fix your water drains first, hahaha. Se the water everywhere, why is not running in the drain? Cuz you have a shit infrastructure, that is why.
