BTC beijing
Decent amount of pollution.
Early morning view from hotel room. Hutongs, low scale historical part of
the city. Many are preserved buildings from the Ming dynasty era.
There is a peaceful gray haze or morning fog over the district as I write
this. Few people out yet. This is a 9 am or 8:30start city. Very peaceful
before the rush starts.
After a decent breakfast Off to the temple of Heaven, the enormous prayer
park, 273 hectares, for the emperor to pray. Wonderful social setting for
tai chi, dancing, and a large variety of outdoor activities as well as
card, majong, Chinese chess, etc. I joined in two activities. A racquet
exercise, film later, and street calligraphy.
Tianamen square. Room for 500k people but not on Google maps.
Sculptures, souvenirs but no food vendors.
Two hour lecture on geography, cultural diversity, one child policy,
confucian way of life, customs and manners.
Very frank discussion of the upcoming problems caused by one child policy,
as well as the three gorges project disruptions.
Many heartfelt concerns with hope, just hope, that the government can find
some solution. The lecturer was near retirement and her pain and concerns
were very evident.
The high costs of medical expenses another major concern unless one has a
government job.

BTC Luoyong
Overcast
Morning in the central square. Exercises are popular and less costly than
gyms. Various forms of tai chi, dancing, swords, whips, etc etc. Some
pictures and short videos -hopefully on Flickr. The whip master a real
treat to see.
Unfortunately the great Chinese firewall has blocked me from sending video
by Google plus, you tube, wordpress,and flickr. Have to wait until after
china for video..
Longmon grotto.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longmen_Grottoes
Too many pictures of ours will be on Flickr.. Editing will have to wait
until return. These caves and carvings take your breath away.
Lunch, Luoyong style, with a good assortment of veggies and fungi as well
as duck surpassed beijing fare. Just more flavors. QB thought the smoked
pork bacon was the highlight.
Breakfast included a pho type soup area with noodles and broth plus
assorted spices to be added.
Off to another agricultural village, about 200 families. Wheat and corn
with children working in urban areas. Simple furniture but all the creature
comforts. Much more developed than most anything I saw in Vietnam.
Spent about an hour in a village school. Mostly for them to practice
English. Lack of native speakers very evident.
Szechwan dinner. Properly spicy if a bit oily. We served our beijing
duck, purchased at the train station as an appetizer.
Even was a lesson on Chinese Music with some traditional instruments.
Separate post as worth it. Very excellent
BTC. River cruise
Morning rain.
One minute I am drifting awake looking at the riverside towns through a
morning haze, then another cruise ship pulls aside. I can shake hands with
a passenger on the opposing side.
We have docked at Fengue, Ghost City, in the sense of superstitions. But,
it was decided that instead we should visit relocation village and a
farmers family that had been relocated.
Before the dam was built the water level in the winter raised 10 meters.
After the three gorges 50 meters. So, those on the banks, like the farmer
family, had to move.
The village is situated high up a mountain side. Terraced gardens and
farming. Often self sufficient for all food, including fruits and veggies,
surplus taken to market.
He was, in the beginning, very sorrowful about moving but now very happy.
Better spring water, considerable payment, 5000 sq. foot family house of
cement rather than mud, no leaks.
I asked him what he thought about America. Very rich, so why do you have
to borrow money from poor china?
Afterwards we visited his local market which was in preparation for Labor
day (May day) tremendous diversity of foods, not any hint of a
monoculture. Outdoor markets very low cost as no transportation or
expensive indoor rent. Naturally all parts of the animals. Also some fish
in the market.
Cruises, we have been told, have lectures both for entertainment and
education. First a talk of how Chinese medicine works. Theory behind
stimulating the main channels via acupuncture, acupressure, cupping,
scraping with water buffalo horn and red health liquid.
BTC Chongching. Double happiness
Warm and sunny
Early plane ride to Chongching and the giant pandas.
With mountains on all sides it was heavily bombed by japan but not
occupied. Remained the capital from 1937 to late 1945. Now the area has 32
millions with 10 millions in the inner city. Has invested very heavily in
trees and pollution control equipment. Very hot, very humid summers and
cold humid winters. Buildings looking like they are growing as we fight the
traffic from the airport.
Hilly city,sitting between two rivers, yu and yangtze, providing many jobs
for porters, bamboo stick men, to carry even daily shopping home. Easy city
to get a job in restaurants or porters and start you climb from the village
to business or education prosperity.
First a tour of the old city with its outdoor markets. Traditional Szechwan
lunch, nice mixture of warm to very warm to hot dishes. Some items from the
south, canton area.
Pandas in the zoo were not so nice to see. The zoo is of a style we used
50 years ago. More like large caged pens. Many photos will be on
Flickr.
Short lecture on Chinese painting and methods, mostly as an introduction to
the art gallery and their hope for some sales.
Hot pot dinner - both a mild and spicy broth. Then off to the ship. We
start a 800 km trip on the Yangtze. Chongching looks exciting all lit
up-from the ship before it gets going. Safety talk first as one can
easily understand.?
