Photo Hunters : “Antique”
During our trip to Beijing, China and its environs, we saw what it means to be an ancient civilization. There were places and things that were really time-weathered. Buildings hundreds and thousands of years old were kept in good condition. It’s an old civilization indeed.
The Great Wall of China.
Chengde, the summer residence of the Qing dynasty emperors
Tian An Men, the entrance to the Forbidden City
Here’s the antique : the door bar of Tian An Men’s gates. Huge.
Happy New Year eve Bernard. Will come back and read this post when I got more time. Please eat my share for tonight’s reunion dinner okay?
