A coffe shop along Hou Ha Lake in 2002, now a bar. Beijing 2007
Hou Ha is a manmade lake, NW of the Forbidden City—the largest of three consecutive lakes lined with willow trees and surrounded by a rambling maze of hutongs, shops, and cafes. All the bars were not there in 2002 when these photos were taken, as they are to-day (2009). .http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/places/places-of-a-lifetime/beijing-walking-tour-1.html Beijing 2007
