The Beijing Archeological Survey Makes an Appearance

 Here we are looking for the Beijing Archeological Survey. But first, we had just seen mushrooms so we asked about that.

"10" locates this on the map.

Here are the four who were the Beijing Archaeological Survey. They were young, just out to do roads. 

Looking for the West Gate

Looking for the West Gate, I find myself reflective!

It is located by the West Gate by "9." When we were at the kiln, we headed up the hill, so it is possible that it is on the other side of the hill. 

 

Slides Which Complete the Picture

On the red line we have "2" which is the King and Queen's living quarters, "4," the 1,000 women "in service to the King," and "4a" which is the "woods which face one another," about what the King did there.

We also have "8," which is off Fantian, which is a "marker."  

We have also in this slide the hike Fantian to the 18 Lohan and return via Songcheng Road in the village. 

Here we have the Fantian-Songcheng Road hike with the left side going up and the right side coming down Songcheng Road.

This slide is the same as the one above, but the GPS is different. The hike is from the "sweeper."

This is the "marker" for the Fantian-Songcheng hike. It corresponds with "8."

The ArcView Slides

These are a different breed of slides. They show the Palace by "points" rather than by "tracks."

Take a look at the points between right center all the way up to left central center. These are the points, just in inside the wall, where the 1,000 women were.

These do "tracks" also. The track at the top is a part of "hills which face each other," where the king would go with his favorites from the 1,000 women.


Below is the route we took following the Chinese Medical Facility. It is "heart-shaped" over by the large structure.

These can be large, click them!

The Day of Beijing (2005)

Here we have "Head Honchos" ready for the dinner.

A Fellow Beijinger

The Beijing Archaeological Survey

If you hover over the "Play" button and hit the right button, you'll get a set of four options. Go to the top option and click on it. This will extend the play function so that it will "loop" through the play feature. In other words it will go on and on, rather than just one time through!

Look for the darkest line on the map. This traces the Sung Palace Wall 700 years ago. 

It was done in 2011 but they don't have the Moule map!

This is map with the Beijing Survey and the Moule map draped over it - plus the elevation map.

Here is a 3D map, again of the Beijing Survey. Have your red-blue glasses ready!

The 18 Lohans

Here we come in our walk to the eighteen Lohans. These were the followers of the Buddha, each with an individual personality.  This particular person could have been the Buddha!

This regal fellow is another Lohan, but he has an individual personality.

 These not-so-regal individuals are two more Lohans.

This individual is a Lohan, but remember we don't have all eighteen!

Here we have an old man. He is very regal!
