Lost in Fangyuanli ID MALL
So, I finally made it to Fangyuanli ID MALL in Beijing, this sprawling shopping center... It's HUGE. Seriously, I got so turned around, I swear I saw the same shop three times. Navigating those in… more
Yeah, Fangyuanli ID MALL is a beast. I've been there a few times and it's like they deliberately designed it to be confusing. No secret map, unfortunately, just endless corridors and shops that all kinda look the same. My strategy is to pick a central point – like a main staircase or something – and mentally map my route from there. Otherwise, it's a write-off. Good luck finding your tea!
Beijing Opera Mysteries?
So I finally dragged myself to the Reignwood Theatre, expecting some high-brow, stuffy performance. Boy, was I wrong! It was incredible
Yeah, Reignwood Theatre is a bit of a hidden… well, not hidden, but it’s not exactly plastered all over tourist brochures. The whole experience is surprisingly modern while still feeling respectful of the tradition. I was expecting something… stiffer, you know? Glad you had a good time. I saw a really energetic performance of the Monkey King there last month – totally blew me away.
That's awesome! I was worried it might be too tourist-trappy. Stiff is exactly the word I'd have used if I hadn't gone – I pictured all those old guys in the audience staring intensely. The Monkey King, huh? I bet that was incredible. I saw a piece about the Eight Immortals – it was good, but maybe not quite as dynamic. Makes me want to go back and see something different now!
