Pure delight - time and luncheon with a humble and skilled artist
My business colleague and I wanted to explore Hutong but were not interested in busy tourist spots, nor Insta-ready iconic spaces.

Great local experience in Beijing
This was the highlight in Beijing. We already did the Great Wall, Tian An Men Square, and the Forbidden City. We went to the museum where our host told us to meet. Just text him when you’re outside and he’ll come get you. That’s because you will walk through ancient city streets to the house where the cooking and calligraphy takes place. Our host was translator while the calligraphy expert guided us through writing several meaningful Chinese characters. We each did about 10 copying the master....閱讀更多
