Lost in Fangyuanli ID Mall?
I spent a whole afternoon wandering around Fangyuanli ID Mall in Beijing. It's HUGE. Like, seriously labyrinthine. I got completely turned around trying to find that cute little bakery I smelled ear… more
Tell me about it! Fangyuanli ID Mall is a monster. I once spent an hour looking for the bathroom. An hour. No kidding. They need seriously improved signage, maybe even those little digital kiosks you see in airports showing you where everything is. Or, at the very least, a decent map at every entrance. My phone's GPS crapped out on me there once too - apparently, the signal gets really wonky inside. Total nightmare. I feel your pain.
Beijing's Today Art Museum: Is the rooftop garden worth the hype?
I finally made it to the Today Art Museum in Beijing, after hearing so much about it. The exhibits were… interesting. Definitely not your grandma's art, that's for sure. I spent ages wandering aroun… more
Totally depends on what you're looking for. The view from the Today Art Museum rooftop is undeniably great – you get a killer panorama of Beijing. If stunning cityscapes are your thing, it's worth it. But if you're expecting, like, a lush, manicured garden experience, you might be a little underwhelmed. It's more of a rooftop terrace with plants than a full-blown garden. So yeah, Instagrammable for sure, but whether it's worth the hype... that's subjective. I'd say go see it if you're already there, but don't make a special trip just for the garden.
Makes sense. I was picturing something more… zen, I guess? Thanks for the honest take. Good to know it's primarily about the view. I'll factor that in.
