Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3 #easter2019

The Chinese Acrobats of Chaoyang Theater never cease to amaze from flipping through hoops to feet-spinning umbrellas to climbing an eight-chair tower to ten ladies on a bike and more. The boys were 😳😮. #chaoyangtheater #chineseacrobats #beijing2019

We passed this repair stall many times (on the way back and forth to eat many dumplings 😂). We saw it repairing cars and bikes just outside the local hutong. #smallrepairshop #lessismore #hutonglife #beijing2019

In China you eat “Longevity Noodles” that are long and uncut on your birthday to hope for long life. Our waiter unknowingly gifted us with some for other reasons, but B enjoyed them anyways, and it happens to be four days until his birthday! #foodlovelanguage #longevitynoodles #chinesetradition #bdoesp1

Amazing artwork on every wooden beam throughout Summer Palace, these seen on a random pavilion off in the woods. #chineseart #summerpalace #beijing2019

It was fun to see the water calligrapher Shannon and I hobnobbed with in 2013 and to see H and B also enjoy his artwork. #summerpalace #beijing2019 #hdoesg1 #bdoesp1 #waterbrush

At Summer Palace it is fun to take the ferry over to South Island and cross the Seventeen-Arch Bridge. H counted the arches in Chinese 😀 #summerpalace #shiqi #beijing2019 #seventeenarchbridge

We enjoyed visiting the cool Summer Palace, hiking up to the high part looking over the 2.2 sq. km Kunming Lake, a huge lake excavated by hand 🤯 #chineseengineering #summerpalace #beijing2019

In case your vegetables are not rotten enough, there are some at a Chinese Walmart near you. #lostintranslation #beijing2019

The moats of the Beijing Palace were important for defence and originally had its source from ten local springs. #reflectionmoat #beijing2019 #meridiangate

The boys enjoyed counting the mythical animals on the corners of the Palace Museum roofs: ten was the max here on the Hall of Supreme Harmony where they pose in front of the Emperor’s Staircase. #beijing2019 #forbiddencity #palacemuseum #emperorsstaircase #hdoesg1 #bdoesp1

We enjoyed a coal-fires Xinjiang-style hotpot tonight. Very good and light because we cooked in hot water instead of oil. #waterhotpot #beijing2019 #coalfire #beef #mushroom #sweetpotato #noodles #niujiestreet

The boys enjoyed the cool air in the Great Wall towers along the way. The views were stunning as well! #mutianyugreatwall #beijing2019 #hdoesg1 #bdoesp1 #silouette

I loved being able to let the boys experience the Great Wall today. A memorable day for sure. #mutianyugreatwall #familymemories #beautifulday #651yearsold #beijing2019 #hdoesg1 #bdoesg1

Right outside our place is the Xuanwumen church, first built in 1605, razed in the 1900 Boxer rebellion, and this one rebuilt in 1904. #churchhistory #christianchurchofchina #blueskies #builtbyimperialorder

If you are not eating Pho [Fuh] at least 1x month, stop right now and find the closest Vietnamese restaurant and start going. #phocrazy #goodfood #healthyfood #nomnom #weloveit

One of my fav birds, this Red-billed Blue Magpie was soaring around Shek Mun with its long tail and bright beak. #magpie #naturelover #hongkongresidentbird
