Asian Art Museum in San Francisco
China has such a long history that we have a great deal of museums on our ancient culture and artifacts, and I’ve visited so many. However, I was not aware how other Asian countries evolved at the time China was evolving from dynasty to dynasty. Therefore, the Asian Art Museum exhibition was such a great eye opener for me, and I was so happy to have a landscape view on arts from all these Asian countries.
Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses
Terra-cotta Warriors and Horses is a very famous tourism spot in Xi’an, China. They are real-life-size clay figures buried with Qin Emperor, the first empire of the ancient China. It’s a masterpiece from more than 2000 years ago and one of the Eight Wonders of the World.
High Speed Train in China
I travel by train to different cities during my China trip this time.
Visiting the Great Wall
We hiked on the Great Wall, yay! I’ve been wanting to go there for years, and finally, this time I made it.
The Palace Museum (The Forbidden City)
We visited the Palace Museum, located in Beijing.
Abacus: A Steppig Stone for Modern Computers
I know that the invention of modern computers was based on numerous tools that came before it, but I didn’t realize that the abacus was one of them.
Abandoned Railroads in Marin & Thoughts on Public Transportation
I appreciate the effort of bringing more public transportation. The thing is, the current transportation system (buses, freeway, etc) planned and implemented years ago is falling behind. It’s reaching its capacity. Or can I say, when the system was planned, nobody expected the traffic situation can have significant changes AFTER the system was implemented?
China Camp in San Francisco Bay Area
Yanbin I had a really nice 7ish-mile hike in the China Camp State Park, Marin County, north of San Francisco. As a Chinese, I’m naturally very curious about where the name of “China Camp” came from.
Marin Museum of Bicycling
We visited a lovely museum called Marin Museum of Bicycling (Mountain Bike Hall of Fame) in Fairfax, Marin County, CA. Little did we know, the mountain bikes were born right here in Marin!
