lerevel: Forbidden City Beijing by TRAVEL4VITALITY on Flickr. Via Flickr: The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five hundred years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government. source: Wikipedia TRAVEL4VITALITY | Blog | Twitter | Facebook This actually isn’t the forbidden city… It’s a shot of jingshan park, the park directly north of the forbidden city on the central axis of beijing. It’s a giant hill that was built from the earth removed to build the moat around the forbidden city.  If you turned 180 degrees from this point, THEN you would be looking at the forbidden city… But you can tell it’s looking the wrong way because instead of seeing qianmen and the government buildings, you can see the drum and bell towers in the background.

The Road Ahead: 11.25.2010

skippin-reels:

I got into a cab, driven by a man from up North who I recognized. “You’re from Canada.” ”You remembered.” We made small talk, the usual questions - where do you work; how old are you; have you eaten? He told me that I had a crappy phone and that his was better. I know.

He kept saying kai che (

skippin-reels: It’s actually a really beautiful translation.  Everything is the way it is supposed to be. 順 (shùn) meaning order; 其 (qí) used as a possessive; 自然 (zìrán) meaning natural or free. Thank you to my new follower for the explanation! I forgot about it after I posted it so long ago, so glad that you could remind me! :) And you’re right, it is a beautiful translation.

Pictures from the 6th tallest ferris wheel in the world in Tianjin, China.

We didn’t ride it because it was super cold and windy even when we weren’t hundreds of feet in the air!

Views of the battlements around the Forbidden City, as seen from Jingshan park at night.

April 1, 2012
Mine  and John’s feet smack-dab in the middle of Beijing! The center point of the city is located at the top of the hill at Jingshan park. When you stand at this point, and you can see Sanlitun to the east, and the Forbidden City to the south, and the white pagoda of Beihai park and the towers of Fuxingmen and Fuchengmen to the West, and the giant temple with the Bell and Drum Towers directly behind it to the north… You feel as if the entire city is revolving around you. Standing at such a quiet spot, with the cold Beijing air whipping your hair around your face, hearing cars on the roads beneath you as the sounds echo up the paths towards Jingshan temple, the city is yours. You’ve been to all of these places, you could go again if you wanted to, you’ve ridden in taxis to them, you’ve taken subways to them, and you’ve taken buses to them.   And suddenly you’re in every part of the city all at once, revolving around Jingshan at the center, while you simultaneously watch the entire city before you, and you feel and become the gravity that holds the entire city together.

A once-white kitty perches on a wall in the city of Pingyao, China.  A dirty and photographic litter guy, he was rather displeased with my approach, thus his perfectly timed facial expression. Very lucky timing. Without a doubt, the most masterful photograph that I took while I was in China. Don&#8217;t be fooled, I&#8217;m no photographer :P An out-of-order post at the request of my lovely sister.
