To know Beijing begin from to know bystreet. Come here and look, this is the the enter the mouth of alley and the entrance of Beijing. |
|  | Old Gate Beijing's the most famous house is called "compond with houses around courtyard". There are a lot of old daintily about it. Beginning at this old gate. In front of the gate, there are two rock frusta. In the past, they stand in the status of the host of the house. The bigger the frusta is the higher level the host in the soseity.

That's true. Autumn is the most beautiful scene but winter is just as nice. Wewent one early morning just after snow felled... it was one of the most beautiful winter sight I have seen in Beijing. Mutianyu is definitely better whereas Badaling is crowded | nepalgoods Sun Oct 8, 2006 06:40 UTC
