Newly painted Chinese motif in Prince Gong’s Mansion; Chinese government spent $ 30 million restoring the mansion.
A little Chinese empress. I shared the same tour bus with her. She gave me the permission to take her picture. When I saw her headdress, it reminded me of Natalie Portman in Star Wars. I have to say this little girl looks way better than Portman in her outlandish headdress.
This is Prince Gong’s Mansion. Prince Gong (He Shen) had 27 wives and lived like an emperor. The mansion was constructed in 1777. It is one of the most extravagant residences in Beijing. Since 1982 it has been declared as the Chinese National Cultural Heritage.
Roof figures: at the tail of the procession is an imperial dragon, representing the authority of the state. At the head of the procession is a man riding a phoenix.
Gingko Biloba tree, in the courtyard, is the national tree of China. It is super resilient. The Gingko trees have culinary and medicinal uses. Six Gingko trees in Hiroshima, Japan, survived atom bomb explosion of 1945, they are still alive to this day.
This is the first place I visited in Beijing with a tour group. It is called Beijing Yuan Blue and White Porcelain Culture Exchange Center.
In Beijing, tradition and modernity co-exist! These three oval prism-shaped buildings house Beijing Transport Center. They are very modern architectural structures.
