To continue this series on Beijing, I was amazed that the old buildings from when the European powers were here a hundred odd years ago, are still standing and looking good. There was also a number of older, mature trees, that I didn’t see any where else in central Beijing.
Automatically, all seemed “different”, and “old” and more “European”! In fact, it reminded me of home, in Glasgow. So much so, that I automatically assumed, that there should be a pub nearby!

From here, it was very short walk to Tiananmen Square, though it was approaching dusk, and the light was not good enough for more shots.
