Some sights
Yang and I went to see the Temple of Heaven - big, many buildings, impressive and heard a recital of traditional music.
A Bhuddist temple - enormous standing Bhudda about 18m tall. I've seen bigger, but only lying down.
Hutongs - the old alleyways and courtyard style houses.
Drum tower - big solid tower with large drum to tell BJers the time. Measured by a large water clock. Drum beating demo.
And parks - BJ has lovely parks.
