Here are pictures of Beijing taken from the mid 80s to the beginning of 90s.
A boy enjoying the ride.
“There are 9 million bikes in Beijing…”
And a lot of taxi cabs, too.
College students dancing at a public square, some were bare foot.
Girls sailing at Beihai park.
While others were talking about love.
The tallest building…
before this.
Roads seemed wider.
Bridges seemed simpler.
The old (or should I say older?) President Bush came to visit in 1988.
The 1990 Asian Games was successfully hosted.
And the Olympics was just a hope.
Hi Huibo : )
Very interesting to see the changes in Beijing over the years – and I notice the beautiful blue skies in some of the photos. How is it there at the moment?
Hi Alice, the government is trying to accomplish a goal of having around 280 days per year with blue skies, something like that. They seem to be doing a good job, but we certainly see less stars at night
