端午夏日游看怎样和孩子一起逛北京

A kind woman let us enter her hutong home, which made up one side of a courtyard. The mistress of the house was so well off, she explained, she did not have to work. My jaded little New Yorkers were baffled. Two rooms for three people? A shared stove -- outside?帝 My husband and I attempted to turn this into a teachable moment, but the kids had moved on and were exclaiming over the mistress's pet cricket.

一位友善的妇女让我们走进了她在胡同里的家，这户人家占据了一座四合院的一边儿。那位妇女解释说，这家的女主人生活相当富足，她都无需工作。这让我们家善嘲讽的小纽约客们感到困惑不已。两个房间要住三个人？共用一个灶－－还是在外边？我和丈夫本想试着把此时此刻变成教育孩子们的好时机，但他们却已开始往前走并朝着女主人养的宠物蛐蛐大喊大叫起来。

To work off some of their energy, we raced up the steps of the Drum Tower, a 154-foot-tall structure built during the reign of Kublai Khan. As we arrived, 25 percussion students entered the hall, and in perfect unison pounded the hell out of 6-foot-wide drums. We had to rush off to an hour-long date that Remote Lands had scheduled with a master kite-maker. In his tiny kitchen, he taught the kids to make miniature kites by heating sticks of bamboo over a candle until they were pliable, then gluing on sheets of rice paper. Rain had cleared the sky of smog and the streets of muck, and in the quiet hutong, my children flew their painted masterpieces -- a butterfly, a dragon and a bird.
