This episode is a bit of a DETOUR from the trip report I've been covering. In honor of the Olympic games, now being held in Bejing, China, we'll take a listen to Si Xian, which is a performance on an instrument used in Chinese classical music.

The itunes and Libsyn image for this episode this is cobbled together from 2 WDW postcards of the China pavilion.
