Reader comments
After reading the whole book, I felt like I still had something to say. The article tells many old stories about old Beijing, which are all very exciting and strongly aroused my curiosity. For example: the origins of Wanshou Mountain and Yuquan Mountain, the legend of "Taiye Pond", the "Four Haunted Houses" in Beijing, the No. 1 Dragon Prince in Beijing, why there is no water on Miaofeng Mountain, the confusing "Tomb of the Five Fire Gods", why the copper bull in the Summer Palace has no tail, the "Temple of Heaven that is easy to get out and difficult to enter", etc. They all look super mysterious and very interesting. They attracted me to take a closer look. I highly recommend it to everyone.
It's good to read. I really like reading this type of book. After reading it, I have a better understanding of Beijing's past. This book tells us in detail interesting anecdotes about old Beijing from many aspects, including: interesting anecdotes about the construction of the city of Beijing, interesting anecdotes about the city gates of Beijing, interesting anecdotes about local places in Beijing, interesting anecdotes about the history of Beijing, interesting anecdotes about Beijing celebrities, legends about monsters in Beijing, legends about Beijing shops, interesting anecdotes about Beijing customs, and legends about Beijing food. Every aspect of the story fascinates me, and I am curious to find out if it is really as mysterious as the folklore. The author's words are humorous and simple, easy to understand, and the reading experience is very good.
Don't be too demanding. This is a book that Beijingers love to read. Compared with what is beyond nonsense, there are gossips surrounding fair-skinned women. The so-called novels are many times higher. This is Beijing culture.
Humorous, simple, easy to understand and well-founded, he is worthy of being a Beijing expert.
I heard many old stories about old Beijing here and gained a lot of knowledge.
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
Still quite interesting
The writing is very true, keep up the good work
Well written
I like to listen
It's quite interesting to take a look at it in your spare time.
Real, interesting, and enjoyable stories about the normal life of old Beijingers!
