The train slowly into the Beijing West Railway Station, we are lying in the window watching Beijing scenery. "Ah, Beijing's weather is good ah!" Next friend looked through the platforms of the top of the sunlight hitting the car, said. Squint, I looked up, the weather was really good, it seems God has welcomed us to Beijing it!
Carrying heavy luggage out of the platform, followed by our colleagues in Beijing have been waiting outside of the. Eventually becoming to meet, of course, some pleasantries. Then we boarded a taxi, respectively, began to go to our first destination, which is where we stay - courtyard! Beijing courtyard house we listened to more, know it, and Shanghai Lanes is a par, and is a typical residential buildings in China, one of the two. Peking Man in Beijing to experience life to really feel the atmosphere in Beijing will put the situation courtyard. I have always thought so, this time in Beijing finally realized the idea.
We live in the western courtyard of the award four reward inside alley. Also the taxi time, Beijing's colleagues have told us that a lot of things on this alley - What is this Badahutong Beijing, one of dozens on the inside courtyard hundred years of history, etc. Hua Guofeng particular note in the back alley to live with us, therefore pledge: not allowed to loud noise, otherwise, there will be street people to check situations to do! Listening to so many historical stories, of course we very much look forward to approaching the courtyard啦, but also to imagine how beautiful it is! That know, we went in a little bit disappointed! Originally it four so-called Tingyou history of the old house surrounded by a species of a jujube tree in the middle of the courtyard is the courtyard. A reflection of a friend very quickly, he immediately said, with colleagues in Beijing should be cut off these jujube - I added the word inside the wood, became trapped characters, laugh them to work for a long time trapped in Beijing! I immediately said that can not cut the one is not environmentally friendly, and second, even worse: You think of the word which I joined, not to become prisoners? Oh, we all laughed.
Settled in, ate rice. We took advantage of nap time, I went to go inside the courtyard and found the courtyard getting bigger - and the door came in through the aisle, that is, the yard; the north is a row of houses, which are divided into three rooms and a toilet, I live in in one room; the west is a junk room, getting bigger but the mess; the south is a good room and a living room without decoration; the east is a room, there is a kitchen. Do not think that these houses are independent, but in fact they are linked. The square-shaped square-shaped courtyard around the house, which is what I feel the courtyard features. And exposure to courtyard inside, I came to understand the reason why we are called Courtyard - four sides of the house together, surrounded by a yard short is not a quadrangle do?
Read inside, I go outside to look at. At this time, that I think these are really some of the historical courtyard - the entrance of each yard has a look quite old, quite beautifully carved stone decoration. There are screen wall next to a yard it, the above is a dragon and phoenix in relief. But looking at the yard in front of undefended and other belongings of the huddle, you can clearly know that apart from that we live in a courtyard, the others are basically along with several families live together. With this in mind, I feel quite crowded, and some can not imagine living with so many people the situation of the!
Ancient, that I first came to tidy courtyard impression. Then the journey inside us a lot of interesting things happen in this courtyard inside!
