A wintry day

 Hello!

 On our last Wednesday I took some photos around campus as the light was very beautiful. I also found some Azure-winged magpies and took their picture as I wanted to have some photos of these lovely birds that I saw so often on my trip.

Beautiful trees

The blue of the houses in this little square went so nicely with the golden leaves on the trees.

I think this is the sports centre

Beijing!

 You may recognise the first character above from Mahjong tiles, this is because it is "north." Beijing means "Northern Capital." Hence, Nanjing means "Southern Capital."

 As you can see from the pictures, it was a really nice day, and the magpies are so gorgeous.

Christmas Eve

 Ni hao!

 I am going to share with you some photos I took on Christmas Eve. Today after our economics lecture in the tall building I decided to go to the very top floor and take photos of the sunset over Beijing. I found it very soothing and the views very beautiful.

 I then took some photos around the BNU campus, which looked really magical in the early evening light. I hope you like them.

 Firstly, this took me by surprise me whenever I went into Hollywood, a restaurant we liked. Is it Santa? Or a dragon? I'm not sure.

It is me!

 Next, the views from our economics classroom:

 It was certainly an unusual Christmas Eve, but one I found very enjoyable. It was a quiet, peaceful day in the middle of a busy trip.
