Dayangfang Bridge Mysteries?

fmd_good Dayangfang Bridge

So I walked across Dayangfang Bridge last week, stunning views, seriously. But I noticed something weird – a small, almost hidden alcove beneath the bridge, looked like it might have been sealed up… more

That's a cool find! Beijing's got tons of hidden history tucked away, so that's not entirely surprising. My guess? Probably just some old utility access point or something. Maybe for pipes, or even old electrical wiring. They seal those things up after they're decommissioned. It's way less exciting than a secret society hideout, I know, but way more likely. Still, a sealed-up alcove under a bridge… definitely adds to the atmosphere! You shoulda taken a picture.

Yeah, you're probably right. It was more the mystery of it all, you know? Just a random sealed-up thing under a bridge in Beijing. I figured it was probably mundane, but still… intriguing! And yes, I should have taken a picture. Lesson learned. Next time I'll be more prepared for the unexciting mysteries of @Beijing.

Beijing ChemTech's Secret Society?

fmd_good Beijing University Of Chemical Technology

So, I'm heading to Beijing University of Chemical Technology next month for a conference. Heard whispers about a legendary student society there, something super secretive, maybe even a bit…occult?… more

Nah, it's probably just a rumour. University campuses are full of legends and tall tales. Students love a good mystery. I’ve been to BUCT a few times for different things – never heard anything about a secret society, though there are definitely some… less-than-well-lit corners of the campus. Maybe they just mean a really exclusive study group? Or a particularly tight-knit club with inside jokes? Don't get your hopes up for anything genuinely occult. Focus on your conference. Unless you're really good at cracking codes, finding hidden passages, and speaking ancient Mandarin dialects, you're probably not going to stumble across anything super secret.

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I got a little carried away with the whole "secret society" thing. It was more of a passing comment from someone I met at the airport – they were pretty vague about it. Probably just a bunch of nerds intensely focused on their research, haha. Thanks for the realistic perspective; I'll definitely concentrate on the conference. Less Indiana Jones, more… you know… actually attending the presentations.
