"Beijing, winter of Hutong" New Year's Eve in 2000 stayed at the dormitory of the pretty guesthouse on the north side in Forbidden City in Beijing. There are many tourists of Europeans and Americans in the guesthouse which converted the dwelling of the traditional form of Beijing.
The youths of the same room were the people from Australia, and since he spoke Japanese fluently, I did not need to feel the loneliness of New Year's Eve. When saying so, I had become the people from New Zealand in the same room who spoke Japanese before.
By the reason for saying, I saw the morning of the beginning in the 21st century in Beijing.
It is fearfully cold in the winter of Beijing. I was as hard as I wanted to come to cry.
Qianmen (on the south of Forbidden City ) is atmosphere like Ameyoko in Ueno in Tokyo, and many people are shopping. I am weak to cold. I continued photography of Hutong ( the traditional alley in Beijing ), going into a teahouse every 30 minutes, in order to warm the body.
The men of Beijing are familiar with cold. Although it is midwinter, they are doing some shopping by coming out to a town happily.
I thought that I should come absolutely in summer, when coming to Beijing next time, having not talked with whom and photoing winter of Beijing alone.
