Beijing, China - 4th August 2009
By: whatif
After the quick trip to The Capital Museum, it was just about 3:00 in the afternoon, so, we rode along the street to look aroud this city.
This wide street was the main road in Beijing, both in the past and present, named Chang An Avenue. With two-way six lanes, there were still always crowds and traffic jams along here when traffic peaks came.
A strange building showed at the end of the Hutong. It looked like a huge egg. Whatif told me it was the Grand National Theatre! The National Centre for the Performing Arts (National Grand Theatre), and colloquially described as The Egg, is an opera house in Beijing, People's Republic of China. It was designed by French architect Paul Andreu. Construction started in December 2001 and the inaugural concert was held in December 2007.
It was surprising the buiding was surrounded by a beautiful lake as a mirror, reflecting the pretty silhouette of the building.
Clouds anticipate a storm, and it became even darker now... I thought a storm was coming soon....
Oh, hurry up home! It is sprinkling now!...
