Silk Weaving Museum and Six Dynasties Museum - No Specific Location

      23.11.2024 - 24.11.2024

      This weekend, I was still feeling unwell and had an upset stomach, so I only visited a couple of rather dull museums. One featured a major exhibition on the Qipao, the famous Chinese dress that you likely know about. The Six Dynasties Museum appeared to be privately owned, as its artifacts and overall design were of much higher quality than any other museums I've encountered lately.

Various attractions in Gaochun - No Permanent Residence

I'm still trying out my knee, so I visited Zhou "garden" (which isn't really a garden) and Wenfeng pagoda. It was impressive but tough for me to climb.

The most leisurely month - No Permanent Residence

This month, I've been extremely lazy due to my knee not feeling completely right and the inconvenient location I reside in. Traveling to the south end of the city requires me to take two light rail trains, which takes at least 1.5 hours. I live in Gaochun, south of the airport, so I first take the local rail to the airport, then switch to the airport train to finally reach the south end of the city. My tourist card now only has destinations on the north end of the city left, and I lack the motivation to visit more than one each weekend. Without further delay, here are the photos I took during the weekends in December.

Changde - Estivales 2024

We spent two weeks in Changde. It rained nearly every day, which limited our exploration more than we had hoped. We enjoyed playing at arcades, engaged in Township (a game on our phones and tablets), and went go-karting three times. The go-karts were fully electric and located inside a mall. Logan and Lizzy have been playing Township for over three years and taught Jenny how to play during a two-day stretch of continuous rain. She enjoys the game because it allows her to garden digitally while we travel. They also introduced Lutao to the game, so now the entire family plays Township together.

Beijing - Summer 2024

We spent two weeks in Beijing. The day after our arrival, we visited Chao Yang Park (Sun Park) and rented a duck boat. It was quite slow, but we enjoyed navigating it around the lake.
