Qianmen's Hidden Lanes?
I spent a week wandering through Qianmen, absolutely loved the mix of old and new. The main street is touristy, sure, but those smaller side streets… wow. Felt like I stumbled into a different worl… more
Forget the tourist traps. Head east, towards the Dongcheng District. There's a tiny, unassuming place tucked away near the Lama Temple – seriously, you'll almost miss it. It's family-run, been there for generations, and the duck? It's cooked in a traditional oven, not some fancy modern contraption. You won't find it on any guidebook, and that's the point. The menu's in Chinese, mostly, but they'll manage somehow. Just point and nod, you'll be fine. Trust me on this one. The taste alone is worth the effort of finding it.
Beijing's Dayangfang Bridge: Ghost Stories?
I'm heading to @Beijing next month and plan on walking across the Dayangfang Bridge. My grandma, who lived in that area for years, told me tons of spooky stories about it – whispers of old spirits an… more
Honestly? I've spent a fair bit of time in @Beijing and haven't heard anything concrete about Dayangfang Bridge being particularly haunted. Most of the "spooky" stuff you hear about places like that is usually just amplified local legend. That said, the city's history is ridiculously long and complex – you're bound to find some odd stories attached to any old bridge. Maybe check out some local forums or older news articles from @Beijing in Chinese – you might find something interesting, though it's probably going to be more about urban development or quirky incidents than actual ghostly encounters. Good luck with your investigation! Let me know if you uncover anything truly weird.
