The train was going WAY too fast for my poor camera to get a decent photo
But the scenery was kind of amazing anyway.
City is pretty in places.
I later learnt that ths kind of archway is the easiest signifier in Beijing that you are approaching a major historic site.
Dismount Stone
Stele in honour of highest placing scholars, there are like, 120 of these things around the place.
I don't think I can accurately express how beautiful this building was to me.
Basketball hoop, inside a historic sites grounds, and cars parked. Very surreal.
Random - to me anyway - characters carved into the wall.
This is covered in carved chinese script
This one guy carved all of Confucious's works onto these tablets. They're huge, and impressive.
Well ordered garden.
This tree is unbelievably old. Also freaky lookin'
This sign hasn't been defaced, they printed it that way.
