After a hearty lunch at Abbey Road, we decided to take a walk, going from Fenyang Lu to Taiyuan, and then down Yongkang Lu.
Hungry lung's:
A quilted pajamas set?
We were looking for No. 35, but it was a storefront with the windows papered over. Kent just happened to turn around and see behind us was a sign for the
Shikumen House Museum, at No. 35, Lane 38. And luckily for us, it was open only on Saturdays!
The door was not marked, so we yelled "Ni hao" and a gentleman came to invite us in:
An interesting story that can be read at the
Shikumen House Museum link. A house that was lived in by four generations and simply opened up to the public.

Our walk then took us down Jiashan Lu, with more hanging meats:
