Today we (Agnes, Claudia, Ines, Jakob and me) drove out of Beijing to Cuandixia. I'd like to quote: "Nestled in a valley 90 km west of Beijing and overlooked by towering peaks is Cuandixia, a gorgeous cluster of historic courtyard homes and old-world charm. The backdrop is lovely: terraced orchards and fields, with ancient houses and alleyways rising up the hillside." We climbed up the hill opposite the town and enjoyed the fantastic view. Then we enjoyed a country meal in one of the house's courtyards, which was simple but good. After lunch a walk to the temple and through town (lanes decorated with dried corn hanging on the houses) gave us more impression about this "lovely" Ming village. When we saw a swing in the form of a bucket (Schaufel eines Baggers), we didn't want to restrict the child in us and went on it :-).
