Ritan Park Mystery
I spent a whole afternoon at Ritan Park in @Beijing, wandering through those ancient cypress trees, feeling the history soak into my skin. The air smelled like damp earth and something faintly sweet…… more
That's a cool find! Ritan Park is huge, and it wouldn't surprise me if there were little-known shrines tucked away. @Beijing has a long and complicated history, so many things get lost or forgotten over time. Maybe it's dedicated to a minor deity or a local figure? Or perhaps it's just a very old, unmarked family memorial. There might not even be a story, it could just be… there. Old things sometimes just are. You could try digging around online using Chinese characters (if you can get them) – local forums or history blogs might mention it. Failing that, you might have stumbled onto your own personal Beijing mystery. Pretty cool, tbh.
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.
