The New Year is coming and the Old Beijing is one year older. However, the randomly ordered Beijing pictures are much bigger，clearer and definitely more intimate， Please work with me to figure them out about what, where and approximately when they ever existed. They may be a single one and/or in a group. It might be fun to do so and learn some English as well.

新的一年又到了，老北京又年长了一岁。然而，这些随意排列的北京老照片却变得越发大而清晰，当然更加可亲。让我们一起琢磨一下它们大约是在北京的什么时间、什么地点，当然还有是什么建筑或景物。它们也许是单个或是一组出现（都是从网上来的）。也许有点意思，可能还学点儿英文呢（如果有的话）。

On the above 20th floor, what locations in Beijing from the background were those pictures taken, anyway? 从20楼这些照片的背景上看是北京的何处？

I have collected so many pictures of Beijing city gates, XiZhi Men is one of those that was the least distant one to my home. The bus no. 32 used to be right at the entrance of the gate all the way to the Summer Palace. There were some other buses I can't remember for now to begin from XiZhi Men to other places. When exactly was this Gate torn down and completely gone, and who did it, the army? And when was the bus 32 transferred from the gate to the Zoo?

QianMen Street has been one of the busiest street in Beijing throughout its history. It has experienced so many years of damages and rebuildings. Fortunately, it is still alive and much of it has changed ins and outs.

We are using those old photos to keep our English study going in a different format just for fun,though. I personally do not care where they came from( like ebay,etc). However, my purpose is not only to recognize the building in them but the event(s) as well. Both pictures above were about Boxer War (义和团）around 1900 according to the English instruction on them. That way they help you understand better about why the pictures were made at the time, then the value and history behind it. The same is true also for the following pictures even though many of them have been shown some other places but again, we have a total different idea why we are here, don't we?

Although Beijing is an ancient city and was often used as the capital by one warlord or another, its modern history as a capital begins in the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) with Kublai Khan, grandson of Ghengis Khan. It is here that Marco Polo made his base as he visited and travelled with the Khan. He spent over 20 years as a guest of the Khan before returning to Europe with his vivid descriptions of the great civilization to the east. Most of what we see today in Beijing was built during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644).

It is a city built to inspire; to awe the populace with the power of the emperor. Built for the rites and ceremonies performed to maintain the Mandate of Heaven as well as for defense, it achieves grace through power and size rather than through ornament and variety.

The Mings looked to the past for their design. Beijing, like most major cities in China was built with a series of concentric walls. The outermost wall surrounded what was the Chinese city. A major highway which provides access to the outskirts and links the city with the major arteries to the rest of the country sits on its bed. At various points along the highway you can see the guard towers which loomed above the old gates to the city and provided early warning of invasion. One might regret the loss of this ancient wall, but the alternative would have been to raze whole neighborhoods in one of the most densely packed cities in the world.

Tiananmen Square

Tiananmen Square lies within the area defined by the next wall. Formal access to the square is through the Zhengyang Gate, which marks the boundary of what was once an enclosing wall of grey stone and brick. The tomb of Chairman Mao is centered in the path of the gate. The square itself is fairly recent. It used to be filled with shops and alleys, as the streets surrounding it still are today. Tiananmen is large enough to diminish the impact of two enormous and recent additions to the center of the city. On one side of the square lies the People's History Museum and on the other, the Great Hall of the People. The Great Hall is used for major meetings of the government and State occasions. Elaborate receptions are held there for foreign dignitaries and it contains over 50 rooms, each dedicated to a particular province or minority.

The square serves as a setting for the Imperial City in which lies the Forbidden City. The red walls, golden roof tiles, and the portrait of Mao Zedong contrast strongly with the surroundings of grey and buff. Thousands of tourists from all over China visit the Forbidden City daily. Fred observed at this point that we were of as much interest to the Chinese as was the Forbidden City. Westerners still are a rare sight.

& ^: G! \: b$ o/ w( t4 F

At one time there were vast gardens and parks adjacent to the Forbidden City where the elite could walk freely. Although urban encroachment has swallowed many, we visited Zhongshan Gongyuan, named after and anchored by a statue of Sun Ya-tsen. If that is confusing try this; Sun Zhongshan is the formal name for Sun Yixian which is the new spelling of the informal name of the person we call Sun Ya-tsen or Sun Yatsen. Sun is the family name and Zhongshan is the given name. In China, to indicate respect, admiration, and fondness the given name is often used. Therefore, Zhongshan Gongyuan is Sun Ya-tsen Park. By whatever name, the park was beautiful.

It was a Sunday and the place was filled with the laughter of children and the sight of couples strolling among the trees. Children were often dressed in their finest so that their parents could take their pictures. There was a long winding covered walk that ran through the trees. A path eventually led us to a building which housed a formal garden. Kay discovered the magic and shed off the fatigue of 35 hours of traveling to relax and discover China.
