Old Beijing, Now


Mini courtyard gates
I think "old" (almost ancient) Beijing is so charming. When I saw the lovely miniature gates at a Xiangcun Art Studio Outlet, I grabbed them right away.

With grey bricks and tiles, stone steps, a wooden door, a pair of stone lions, and some green moss, it really brought me back in time.

It's just the same as the gate of my grandfather's courtyard not far from Tian'anmen Square! Such a simple time...
