A Local Beijing Man Playing The Erhu
While on a tour across China, a local Beijing man played us a song on the erhu, an ancient two-stringed bowed musical instrument. It is also called the Chinese two-stringed fiddle.
The man also showed us a great deal of hospitality by cooking our group an authentic Chinese meal.

In the video, you can also see the Bell Tower of Beijing, which holds a 63-ton copper bell, the biggest in all of China. You can read more on the bell tower here: https://steemit.com/travel/@slickwilly/the-bell-tower-of-beijing-or-highlights-of-traveling-china
