Chinese workers hang up a banner welcoming Taiwan's opposition leader Lien Chan at a local hotel before Lien's arrival in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu province, April 26, 2005. Lien will begin an ice-breaking visit to the mainland on Tuesday, raising hopes that his "journey of peace" can usher in better ties and reduce the risk of war between the two sides of the straits.
