The Old Post Office – Peking Legation Quarter

A stroll round the old Legation Quarter of Peking last weekend was rather enhanced by the fact that a bunch of new signs have gone up marking various buildings. They’re not that good and fairly erratic but better than nothing I suppose. The one that caught my attention was close to the old French Legation on what is now Dongdiaominxing Alley. It marks the old French Post Office next to the gates of the entrance gates of the old French Legation. The old Post Office is now a rather dreary restaurant with pretty awful food and sleepy waitresses but at least it still stands.

PS: I’ve added an old photo of the same spot here
