This river’s walking areas have seen a lovely upgrade since last I lived in Beijing – used to run and walk along this river but it was on the roadway, not these nice riverside paths :-).
Yes, these photos were all taken within ten minutes of each other from the top of the boat, shortly after 11am on the 23rd of January :-). First whirlpool experience in the Arctic Circle!
(so much world, so little time....)
