Ritan Park Mystery
I spent a whole afternoon in Ritan Park, Beijing, last week. It was gorgeous, the trees were amazing, and I even saw some people practicing Tai Chi. But the weirdest thing happened – I stumbled upon… more
That's fascinating! Ritan Park is huge, so it's not surprising you found something off the beaten path. Maybe those carvings are remnants of some older, less well-known temple or shrine? Or perhaps some kind of folk art that's faded into obscurity. Beijing has such a rich history, there's always something new to discover, even in familiar places. Did you take any pictures? I'd love to see them!
Yeah, I did! The carvings were pretty worn, honestly, hard to make out what they were supposed to be. Definitely not touristy at all; felt like I stumbled into someone's forgotten backyard. I'll try and upload some later. My phone's battery is almost dead... It's crazy how much is hidden in plain sight, in a place like @Beijing, you know? I'm thinking about going back during the week to try and find more, maybe with a better camera.
