Qingming Festival | Wandering around Beijing

Foraging in Food Treasure Street

We arrived at Shibao Street around 3:30, and there were still a lot of people. I squeezed in and ordered the pig's trotters and egg cakes. Finally, I sat down and had something to eat in the very quiet Taoyuan Military Village.

Hutong near Beihai + Jingshan

The colors are red and gray, plus sparrows, magpies and dead branches. Even more abundant, there are clothes hanging to dry, Spring Festival couplets, big dogs, bicycles and the smell of rice. I came across a small stall selling coke rings and bean juice. The bean juice was poured into a long plastic bag. It cost two yuan for a large bag (I can’t remember haha). I sat on the steps and inserted the straw. Banban actually said Delicious. There is also a small shop that sells beef sesame cakes for ten yuan and four, which are super delicious, but I may never find this shop again.

Nanluogu Lane + Beiluogu Lane

We walked along the road from Dongbu Yaqiao Hutong. I saw the name of this alley before and thought it was interesting. But now I remember, Dongbu Yaqiao. On the way there is Beijing Christian Church Kuanjie Church. The surrounding houses probably imitate Suzhou style, with arch bridges and flowing water, but the colorful lights placed on the water are really dramatic.

There’s not much to say about Nanluogu. It’s just that everyone, everyone, everyone, everyone. It’s no exaggeration to say that people passing through the security check at the train station are moving very fast against each other. If you want to go to Nanluoguxiang to experience being a leek, it is best not to choose a holiday, let alone a holiday night, unless you are as bored as the two of us. I couldn't squeeze anymore, so I found a dark alley with dim light, got in and continued walking.

Coming out of the north gate of Nanluogu is Beiluogu, but there seems to be a boundary between them because tourists return here. Beiluogu has many literary and artistic shops, teahouses and bars, which are suitable for hanging out.

There is a Mao Yard Cafe in Beiluogu. There are many children and some cats are sleeping. They don’t want to go there a second time. What’s the difference between it and paying for prostitution? But the cat can't get the money.

Sikush Church

West Kush Church, "It is more blessed to give than to receive". It seems that there will be services on Sundays. It will close at 11:00 noon and close at 5:00 pm. It was the first time I saw the confessional. There are believers who volunteer to explain, and the surrounding residents will come. . Xisi Baozi Shop is located near the church. I heard that I had to wait for an hour, so I gave up.

Today Art Museum

Today Art Museum is China's first private, non-corporate public welfare art museum (from Google Art & Culture). When I went there, exhibitions were being installed in the first and third exhibition halls, and only the second exhibition hall could be viewed. The exhibition is called "Today's Traveler" and features photos and video materials of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Jarre's visits to China. Some of the other exhibits can be understood, and some cannot. The art is just babbling, or talking to itself.

Contemporary MOMA

The building is old and unsightly, and has not been carefully rotated. There is a Broadway movie center, and the happiest thing is: Kubrick arriving in paradise.

Thank you Banban for coming to play with me

So sleepy good night

I stumbled across this picture today and subconsciously thought it would be cool to use it as a hackson logo. Alas.
