Beijing Day 12


Words cannot fully express how much I enjoy the places I went today.

First of all, we went to the Beijing Drum tower. There they have lots of old drums and replicas. The ancient people used he drums to tell the time of they day. And they used the ball and water apparatus to calculate the passage of time. We also had a chance to enjoy the drum show, TWICE!! The horizon of the city can be viewed from the top of the tower. Plus the nice weather today, I am jealous of my eyes.

Then we went down to the small streets around the old area. that place has eventually turned into a sight seeing spot for tourists. That's why there were a lot of random stores. Food, snacks, art crafts, cuisines, massage store + reflexology. And out of nowhere, we saw that tennis court!!

It was such in interesting place, exactly somewhere I would like to spend my travelling time on. People there know the way to enjoy life, through food, beer and other activities. Except the angry drivers, people are generally friendly.

We finally had dinner at the restaurant called Pass-bys. They served delicious Pizza. We had a salad, ravioli, a curry pizza and a meat lover. So satisfied.

Love to enjoy life. Love to travel without a watch. Love the freedom. Love the Bohemian.
