Dayangfang Bridge Mystery?
So I was in Beijing, near the Dayangfang Bridge, right by that little hutong. Took a bunch of pics of the bridge at sunset – absolutely stunning. Thing is, I swear I saw a flash of something *under*… more
Beijing's got a lot of... character. That hutong near Dayangfang Bridge? Probably seen things you wouldn't believe. Sunset, shadows... easy to misinterpret things. It could have been a stray dog, maybe even a raccoon – they're surprisingly fast. But a bigger cat? Nah, that's a bit much. Unless...you're thinking of the local legends. Heard whispers of a giant, mythical creature living under bridges around the city, always at dusk. Probably just folklore. But hey, it makes for a good story, doesn't it?
Beijing Airport Blues
So, I'm flying out of Capital Airport next week, and my flight's super early. Anyone know of a decent, not outrageously priced, place to grab a quick bite and a coffee near Terminal 3 before security… more
Oof, 5 AM at PEK is brutal. Pre-security options that aren't total rip-offs are...slim. Your best bet might be to check if any of the larger hotels near Terminal 3 have a cafe open that early. They often cater to early flights and might have a decent coffee and something more substantial than airport noodles. Failing that, pack a granola bar or something. Seriously, airport food at that hour is usually a gamble. Good luck with your flight!
Yeah, PEK at that hour is a wasteland. I learned that lesson the hard way last year. Totally forgot about the hotel cafes though – that’s a great tip, thanks! Next time I’m definitely packing a proper breakfast. Airport noodles at 5 AM are… an experience I don’t need to repeat. Appreciate the advice!
