[Beijing] You may have passed by this pavilion known as the Fish and Algae Pavilion (鱼藻轩, yu zao xuan) in the Summer Palace, it seems just like any other ordinary Chinese style architectural building but this is where Wang Guo Wei (王国维) had leaped and drowned himself in the Kunming lake. Wang (1877 - 1927) was a famous Chinese historian and poet, he made tremendous contribution to the studies of ancient Chinese history, vernacular literature and literary theory. Even after the Qing dynasty was overthrown, Wang remained loyal to the Emperor Puyi and he taught at the Tsinghua University where he was known as the “Four Great Tutors” together with prominent scholars such as Liang Qichao and Chen Yinke. There were many versions of why he committed suicide in 1927, before the National Revolutionary Army entered Beijing during the Northern Expedition, some felt that he lost hope when he felt less people are paying attention to culture, while some others opined it could be due to political reasons. Whatever it is, Wang had made a lot of contributions to the study of Chinese culture, such as deciphering the oracle bone script. 📍Beijing, China. 中国北京。🇨🇳 . . . #china #beijing #forbiddencity #travelthroughthelenses #nonmainstream #ancientchina #travelgram #igchina #history #love #snow #seetheworld #bitesize #beijinger #chinese #chinesearchitecture #citygrammers #oldplaces #chinaexplorer #discoverchina #createexplore #summerpalace #instatravel #sihantravels #igdaily #instabeijing #notatourist #中国 #北京 #颐和园

🇭🇰 TamJai Sam Gor is the local restaurant chain with over 75 branches across the city, with its newest flagship branch established in Central; occupying the space previously by the much-beloved Tsui Wah. We came for the flagship-specific items including a shacha brorh noodle with its signature smooth mixian which was a delicious and spicy take; matched with bespoke toppings of lobster balls, fatty beef and baby squid - the latter being a bite-sized bouncy bite. We also came for its skewers - also only available at this branch, including the sliced beef which was strong in black pepper, while our love went to the portobello mushroom that was fragrant and juicy, sprinkled in spices. Set in modern black and red space, the new TamJai Samgor flagship carries delicious traditions of its popular self; now with added items of comfort at budget-friendly prices, deciphering a formula that will surely win lunch goers and night owls to this latest popular destination.
