All around Beijing

Qingming
The Forbidden City from Jingshan Park
Taago arrived from Shanghai yesterday - it's also Tomb sweeping holiday, the 清明节 Qingming jie, so we're all having a long weekend. 

I showed Taago around the Forbidden city, took him to climb the hills at Jingshan Park and then we walked all the way through the tourist-trap known as Nanluoguxiang, all the way to Fangjia hutong.

Old men in Fangjia hutong fiercely playing mahjong. Like really fiercely.

We hung out at Ramo, which is a colorful & lovely place in the hutongs with lots of veggie options. I'm a fan.

Agnes joined in later and we headed to Cafe Zarah as well.
