As everyone knows Beijing has many sky raise building and is a modern city, today we took a tour called the Hutong tour to show us the other side of China. Our guide's name was Lotus, she took us to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower and after a looong 69 steps to get to the top , we found ourselves listening to group of performers banging on the large drums showing how in ancient time they let the common people the time of day and also the change in season. After the performance we went down to the street and we took a we took a ride inside a rural area where you can really see the poverty in China. It was heart breaking. At the end of the tour we had lunch with a "common" Chinese family. She made excellent food and I tried a bit of everything. Enjoy the Pics!!!
Hola a todos, los últimos dos días hemos estado de gira por China! Desde que llegamos un día antes quería aprovechar el tiempo y ver Beijing desde otro punto de vista.Como todo el mundo sabe de Beijing ha muchos edificios y es una ciudad moderna, hoy en día tomamos un tour llamado Hutong para mostrarnos la otra cara de China. El nombre de nuestro guía fue Lotus, que nos llevó a la Torre de la Campana y la Torre del Tambor y después de una laaarga 69 pasos para llegar al final, nos encontramos escuchando a un grupo de jovens tocando los tambores grandes que muestra cómo en la antigüedad China dejar saber a la gente común la hora del día y también el cambio de temporada. Después de la actuación nos fuimos a la calle y tomamos un tour por el interior de una zona rural se puede realmente ver la pobresa en China. realmente me romper el corazón. Al final de la gira que tuvimos un almuerzo con un familia china "común" . Ella hizo una excelente comida y he intentado un poco de todo. Disfruta las fotos!
Millie & Juan,
ReplyDeleteThe Rickshaw tour was our favorite thing to do on our Honeymoon in 2004, and we wish we had gotten to do it when we were in China last month. Our guide had not planned it for our group. The family meal was our best meal while in China that year!! Looks like you are having such fun! Can't wait for the Gotcha Day pics!
