Unexplored areas

We've lived in Beijing nearly 2 years now and we are still discovering new areas. This morning Rich had his first Mandarin test and then we had to do some wedmin in town. We made the most of being downtown and went to the historic shopping street of Dashilar near Tiananmen Square. This photo is taken of the rather less quaint but still historic red light district!
We wandered through some quieter Hutongs afterwards. See extra for some classic Asian wiring.
