Constructions

My itchy shutter finger aside, I find myself pretty much gawking my way through Beijing.

These reminded me of the arcologies from Simcity 2000. There were four of them, but I couldn’t get them all in one shot.

I’m probably one of the few tourists that photographs subways out of genuine interest. These doors keep you from falling on the tracks when there’s no train in the station, but I’ve only seen them on the 5 Line so far.

The National Museum of China. There is no way to impress upon you through photographs how massive this building is.

Basically, the people on the other side of the entrance hall are so small they don’t show up on this photo.

Art from inside the museum, which is dedicated to Chinese history, both classical and revolutionary.

This hall was apparently dedicated to images of soldiers, police, and emergency personnel. No translations were available.
