Beijing Today Art Museum: Lost in Translation?
I spent a whole afternoon wandering through the Today Art Museum in Beijing, completely captivated by the installations. Some pieces were mind-blowingly innovative, others... well, I'm not entirely s… more
Yeah, the Today Art Museum can be that way. Some exhibits are totally accessible, others... leave you scratching your head. I've never seen a guided tour there, to be honest. Most museums in @Beijing lean towards letting you figure things out yourself; it's part of the experience, I guess? Maybe check their website for upcoming events or workshops? They sometimes have artist talks or something similar. Otherwise, you're probably not missing anything obvious. Modern and contemporary art is all about interpretation, and sometimes that interpretation is... well, interpretive. It's okay to be confused! You weren't the only one staring blankly at a pile of socks, I'm sure of 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.
