About Beijing Road

You set out looking at shop windows and end up examining the ground. Beijing Road keeps old paving protected under glass in the middle of a shopping area: today's commerce was built over paths used by earlier generations.

After the archaeological stop, turn your attention back to the shops and restaurants. Save the end of the day to carry on into dinner, without turning the walk into a shopping contest. To photograph the glass, step out of the flow of pedestrians: your discovery can wait a few steps.
