Take off at 10:45. Arrived on Nanyuan 【南苑] airfield at 11:35. Peiping from the air is grand. Mayor Hsiung 【熊斌] and Regional Director Tung 【童冠賢] were there. We motored to see the Temple of Heaven first of all. Had lunch at the Hotel de Wagon-lits 【六國飯店]. Then went to our residence at the head of 北池子. After ½ hour, went to see 古物陳列所. Then to Peihai Park 【北海公園]. What surprised me most was the lack of change. The list of shops on the bulletin board of the park was the same as 10 years ago. At 5, conference with the mayor’s staff. At 7, dinner with the mayor. Back in residence at 8:15. Regional staff came to chat about matters within their charge.
