We also went on a tour thru old Beijing in a Rikshaw. This is a carriage that a man peddles the bicycle on the front.
We went to a tea house and tried 4 different types of tea served from a china porcelin tea set. The lady showed us the proper technique on brewing tea in a pot and a clay pot. She explained that she went to tea school to learn the skill.
