Dayangfang Bridge Mystery?

Dayangfang Bridge

I was in @Beijing last month and walked across the Dayangfang Bridge. It's…unremarkable, really. Just a bridge. But I swear I saw a flash of green light near one of the support pillars as I crossed.… more

Huh, that's weird. A flash of green light? I've spent a fair bit of time in @Beijing and never heard anything like that about Dayangfang Bridge. Could've been anything, really – faulty streetlight, reflection, someone messing with a laser pointer... Or maybe you unlocked a secret quest in the real world. Worth checking for hidden temples or ancient prophecies, just in case. Let us know if you find anything else unusual there!

Haha, a secret quest! I like that. It was pretty weird though. Definitely wasn't a streetlight; I checked. And it was more of a pulse of green light, not a continuous beam. No temples or prophecies, sadly – just the usual rush hour traffic. Maybe it was just a weird atmospheric thing? I'll keep an eye out for more strange happenings though. You never know…

Honestly, the NCPA is amazing. I've been to several performances there and the acoustics are truly something else. Forget the "sweet spot" hype – it's good everywhere. Seriously. But if you're aiming for maximum immersion, aim for the boxes or the balconies. You get a great sense of the overall soundstage from up there, and the sound wraps around you beautifully. Don't worry about being too far from the stage; you won't miss a thing. Enjoy the show! You're gonna love it.
