Beijing's Old-Style Courtyard Houses

Here's our whole Barker group in the "main hall" section of a traditional Beijing Courtyard House. A Rickshaw ride through the city's alleyways ("hutong") reveals many such traditional courtyard houses ("siheyuan"), most of which are now state owned.

At the far left, is the Christian woman who is currently mistress of the house; then, there's Catherine, Melanie, Janelle, Edmund, Charlie, and Steve.
