It's a 'crane day' in Beijing! After this morning's Siberian Cranes (Grus leucogeranus 白鹤 Bái hè), this video shows a few of the 210+ White-naped Cranes (Grus vipio 白枕鹤 Bái zhěn hè) that flew over the campus of Beijing Normal University at lunchtime today (video by BaiTou)!
Exploring the Forbidden City this past weekend, we stopped off in the garden of the Emperor's mother. It's a lovely change of pace from the sprawling ceremonial courtyards in the center of the palace. We have another Forbidden City walk coming up at the end of March.
Wonderful tour of The Church of the Saviour, also known as North Church/北堂 organized by the RASBJ last night. Father Simon Zhu and Father Matthew Zhen led our group on a fascinating walk and discussion about the 321-year history of the church.
'Ellen La Motte: An American Nurse in Peking' In 1916, an American activist and writer traveled to China from the frontlines of World War I. What she saw in the city delighted her; what she saw in the opium trade appalled her. From @JeremiahJenne: chinabooksreview.com/2024/01/23/ell…

Happy Birthday to Yinzhen, AKA The Yongzheng Emperor, born at the Yuanmingyuan (Old Summer Palace) in Beijing on December 13, 1678. Yinzhen became emperor of the Qing Empire in 1722 (after a bit of family fracas) and ruled until 1735.
While our 2023 public walk season has ended, Beijing by Foot has dates available in December and early January for private walks at the capital's most famous sites and along its less-traveled byways. See the link below for more information and a list! beijingbyfoot.com/private-walks-…

Took a farewell drive up to 黄花城, & the 黄花城 we once knew is already gone. It’s been a while since the wall was accessible from 撞道口, and many of our favorite 家常菜 restaurants are 拆， replaced with white stucco and glass cafes and art spaces. And the dam is coming down?
@beijingxfoot I once heard Jonathan Spence give a great talk in Shanghai about walls, mindsets and why ridiculous walls like that get built. I don’t think he ever published it as it was an investment bank conference and private but it was (obviously) excellent.
Inaugurated the first weekend of 2024 with a new walk: Xiangyang Lu offered up all the classics: hidden mansions, Art Deco, infiltrations, neighbors with stories…
This interesting photo new to me; I wonder what happened to that embroidered cover for the packing crate when the portrait got to the USA? Does it still exist?
In 1903, Katharine Carl (1865-1938) painted a portrait of Empress Dowager Cixi (1835-1908) for the 1904 World's Fair. The painting traveled to Tianjin, then boat to Shanghai, and steamer to San Francisco. This is the train departing Beijing with the portrait bound for Tianjin.

What an honour to go birding in Beijing with @USAmbChina and Libby to Shahe Reservoir. Undoubted highlight was the incredible close pass by a male Peregrine as he hunted waterbirds for breakfast!
Our birding leader, ornithologist Terry Townshend, says Beijing has the second greatest number of birds of any G-20 capital (after Brasilia) the majority migratory. The famous Beijing Swift migrates to Southern Africa from here each July.

@beijingboyce There were foreign nuns living in 北京 until 1966. Ran a school for foreign children. I stumbled on this in a forum by former students reminiscing about school & their affection for Sr Eamonn. The Chinese nuns did not get to leave britishpathe.com/asset/255149/
"carrying on the family lien" was RIGHT THERE
传宗接代 (chuán zōng jiē dài) is a term meaning to carry on one’s ancestral line. Netizens have reacted to the news that banks will now provide 30-year mortgages to the elderly, by replacing the idiom’s final character with the homophone 贷 (dài). ow.ly/mQGs50MXB7T
