Reminiscene of Beijing Winter



Today’s weather is quite strange. A mysterious haze crept from the lake, swallowing the CN Tower and diluting the sunny blaze. The haze reminded me of Beijing. But it was different. That was the smog from burning coal in some part of the town, where electricity was still a luxury. That was also the steam coming from the on-street hawkers selling dumplings, pancake, potatoes and stewed lamb. Walking along San Li Tuan (entertainment district), you will bump into several of these hawkers, who fight with DVD sellers to get your business. This is the hustle and bustle side of Beijing.
