Museum opens at Ming imperial granary
Nearly everyone knows that the heart of Beijing is the Forbidden City in the very center of the capital. But few know the location of the city\'s ancient pantry, the Ming Dynasty imperial granary.
With the opening of a museum in the 600-year-old granary used to stockpile food for the emperor and his family, the private operation run by an handicrafts import and export company is now probably Beijing\'s smallest museum at about 500 sq m. It dates to the Yongle period of the Ming dynasties (1368-1644), when there were 76 royal granaries. Only nine sites exist today, according to Xu Liqin, a museum employee.
The granary museum\'s walls remain unchanged from that time, but its former storage space now houses barns, grain bags, a replica of a barge and statues of laborers unloading bags, as well as illustrations of that time. All offer visitors a picture of how grain was shipped from southern China to Beijing along canals and how granaries functioned in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
\"It\'s said that keepers never worried about rats and insects - there were none to eat the grain. It is quite amazing,\" Xu said. The museum also has a stone mill and Chinese windmill that was used to blow chaff from the rice. Visitors are allowed to have a try if they are interested. \"These are rare in the countryside nowadays,\" Xu said.
Admission to the museum is free, but reservations are required. It doesn\'t take long to see all the exhibits, so a visit fits well as part of a stroll following a meal at a nearby restaurant.

Great Wall at Mutianyu and Ming Tombs tour
The Mutianyu section of the Great Wall is a famous and much-loved segment for those looking to experience the landmark on a half-day tour that involves moderate hiking. Other sections of the wall, such as those at Simatai, Jinshanling and Jiankou, are far from the center of Beijing and considered by many to be too \"wild\" and physically challenging to reach. The sections at Badaling and Juyongguan are, by contrast, too crowded and commercial for many.
This trip requires a more rigorous climb than a visit to Badaling but the views are more striking and the optional cable car ride can be used to reach the top. Participants will have lunch at a Chinese restaurant near the wall.
It takes 40 minutes of hiking along the steps from the foot of the mountain to reach the top but be advised that participants will want to hike along the wall and visit other towers too.

Films
Kun1 Action
Born in 1986, filmmaker Wu Haohao uses film as his preferred tool to describe the world he lives in.
In Kun1 Action, Wu depicts his experiences in college, from his shyness the first time he had to give a speech on stage to his growing confidence and his love of women.
Through self-analysis he explores his faith in Neo-Marxism and his thoughts about China and its relations with the rest of the world.
The film is full of psychological contradictions that may challenge audiences and stimulate debate.
A discussion with the director, Wu Haohao, will follow the screening of the film.
The interactive session will begin at 3:20 pm.
