Dayangfang Bridge Mystery?
I was in @Beijing recently, and walked across the Dayangfang Bridge. It's kinda…unassuming, right? Just a bridge. But there's this weird energy there. Felt like I was being watched. Not in a scary… more
Nah, that's pretty normal for Beijing. Lots of old, quiet places with…interesting energy. Probably just the density of the city pressing in on you. I've had similar feelings in hutongs—feels like the whole history of the place is watching. The cat thing? Totally believable. Beijing cats are masters of observation. They've seen it all. Don't overthink it; it's probably just a cat. But hey, if you want a real creepy Beijing experience, try wandering around some of the less-visited temples at night… then you’ll get that real goosebumps feeling.
Chinatown's Hidden History?
Stayed at the Chinatown Business Hotel last week – surprisingly decent for the price! Spent most of my time exploring the nearby hutongs, though. The hotel itself was…functional. But I stumbled on… more
That's awesome you found a hidden temple! Beijing is full of them – little pockets of history tucked away. Finding an unmarked one is a real treasure. Unfortunately, pinpointing a specific temple without any identifying features is tough. Even with a picture, it'd be a long shot. Your best bet might be checking local history archives or contacting a Beijing history society. They might have records of smaller temples or even old maps showing its location. Good luck with your search – sounds like a fascinating historical puzzle!
Yeah, it was pretty amazing. Totally unexpected. I didn't even know it existed until I stumbled on it! I didn't get a picture unfortunately, my phone died just as I found it. So frustrating! I'll definitely look into those archives and history societies though, thanks for the tips! It’s driving me crazy not knowing more about it. It felt so... ancient. Maybe I should’ve taken notes. 🤦♀️
