Wudaokou 五道口
I am back at Wudaokou in Beijing. Wudaokou is well known in Beijing as being a students’ district. That’s because Wudaokou is in the Haidian district, which contains Beijing Language Culture University, BLCU (aka Beiyu, the most well known Chinese learning uni), Beijing University (aka Beida, arguably the No1 University in China), Tsinghua University (arguably the 2nd best University in China), People’s Univeristy (aka Renmin University), and Beijing Foreign Studies University (aka Beiwai) among others. Of course, there are also myriads of small, private schools such as Global Village (aka Diqiucun), PRCStudy, etc…
Tonight I am putting some pictures of people eating outdoor near the Wudaokou light railway station (轻轨站）as well as the train passageway just beside the light railway station. These were taken from my mobile phone, so the quality is quite bad. The people are eating some barbecued meat, jiaozi (dumplings), or having ‘ma la tang’ (like steamboat in hot and numbing sauce), and drinking beer.
Top picture = people eating outside, the lighted building is the Wudaokou light railway station
Middle picture = train passing in front of the light railway station, everyone (people and cars) waiting at the junction.
Bottom picture = same thing, but train not yet there
Update: View of railway crossroad at night from the Wudaokou station

Yeah, during warm weather it’s usually full of people outside breathing the polluted air and chatting in the late afternoon / early evening.
