Travelog for: Eliott

After the corner tower I went to the northern gate of the Forbidden City.
There is a hill nearby the gate. If we get to the top of the hill, the official name is Jingshan Park, we could have a birds' eye view to see further of inner Beijing. But we were going to catch a bus to get to the Gulou, so we could climb that hill next time.
Some info about the Gate of Divine Might:

We took a very quick snapshot with a lovely newsstand before we got on the bus.
There were too many passengers on bus No. 5.

Getting off the bus we saw a street sign reads Dianmenwai dajie.
The red building is Gulou. It was originally built in the 1270s by the Yuan Dynasty during the reign of Kublai Khan. Relocated and reconstructed in the 1420s by the Ming Dynasty. I also took a look at Zhonglou behind Gulou. It looks smaller than Gulou and the basic color of it is grey.

Walked along Gulou west street and then turned left, I found myself in a Hutong area.
The red sign on the wall indicates here is Dashibei Hutong. There is a Xiaoshibei Hutong nearby, these two hutongs used to be a whole one called Shibei Hutong and they were separated at the beginning of 1900s. The longer one's turned to be Dashibei Hutong since then.

Here we arrived at Shichahai. It is actually a big lake consisting of three lakes to the north of the Forbidden City.
The second photo is me on Yinding Bridge.

Wow, it's almost 6:00 pm. Time to go home.
Here is a photo I took when I was waiting the train.

Wow...
Chinese people eat noodles on birthday.
This is Tomato and Egg Noodles for me.
Thank you so very much my friends.

Hi, today I went to a street named Yandaixiejie, we found an unique Postoffice.
It has a real mail box and a statue of a boy in Qing Dynasty at the entrance. 
It looks like a historic site. Hum..I will go inside to take a look.

Hum..this is Daqing Postoffice.
It's actually a retro site looks like the postoffice more than 100 years ago.
I saw some unique stamp marks people used to use before in Qing Dynasty.
I heard we are about to go visit a secret voyager and spend Chinese New Year together.
That will be a lot of fun!
