Folks,

My plan to mainland has been fixed

Trip One: (Beijing) 10 Jul to 17 Jul
I would arrange (a)to see the coach Xu Kaicai and
(b) visiting Juyuanhao.
(c) Would also like to see Romain and may be doing a little bit archery!
(d) I am also like to visit Panjiayuan (where exactly it is?) for some quiver/bow case (if not getting from Ju Yuan Hao).
Any other suggestions? Otherwise I will just hide in one of those kings old lodge for tea etc.

Trip Two: (Inner Mongolia) 07 Aug to 21 Aug
I am spending time at Baotou, Hohhot and Chefeng.
(a) I would like to arrange riding and archery at the former two places and welcome suggestions about who, where that I can do so?! :?:
(b) Chefeng is for the Nadaam and Mr Ye Degang is kindly agreed to bring me along.
Again, please suggest what I can do to enrich my trips.

Thanks :D :?: :?: :?:

Looks like a good trip. Occasionally, there are old bows at the Liangma Antique Market (亮马古玩市场) opposite Ikea.
Romain
For the Beijing part :

c) I won't be there anymore, too bad ! Probably you could shoot with David Mitchell. I'll ask him tomorrow.

d) Panjiayuan market is very well known by every taxi driver. If you have a map of Beijing, check along the East 3rd ring road, 3 bridges (or avenues) south of Jianguomenwai. The 3rd bridge itself is named Panjiayuan Qiao. The market is situated just along the west side of the 3rd Ring Road, there are 3 entries, East, North and West.

There you will find tibetan bows, along with antique arrowheads and crossbow mechanisms. The tibetans will always have a warehouse nearby where you can see more bows.

如果能在某个相当大的射箭场地,徐开才,杨福喜,你,我,再加上其他人,组织一次射箭活动,问题是需要系统的组织活动,时间,地点,射箭器材,等等等等,我论坛上和其他论坛上有几个北京的弓箭爱好者也许也能去

这事相当麻烦人......

我首先跟徐老师摇电,再看看。

现在共有四个人在等你的好消息,
Fox
Jiao,

刚刚跟徐老师谈了。 由于我去京为弓箭事是第一次,没有认真的跟他谈。但他会介绍我去聚元号, 他叫我到京后再跟他联系。

我想你肯定比我认识他们,也许你能安排上。

谢谢

Arrowhead,

How are you. I am being lazy to browse QBQ or other websites, indeed. i.e. not knowing enough persons etc. Except ATARN, which is my root and all my learning acquired through the (web) master.

Being a father of one kid of tendering age and a foetus is rather tiring for most other things. That's why I make my trip to Beijing humble and conservative as my family with me. So as my Inner mongolian trip.

After visiting Korea last year and reading materials about Chinese history, it is nice to practice traditional archery for my goodself and of course it would be even better if all of us can get together, whether from HK, mainland and Taiwan (alphabetical order, language rule)

Folks,

I am back to HK. Very successful trip to Beijing and learnt a lot from Master Yang Fuxi and Coach Xu Kaicai. I bought a lovely white/transparent hornbow from Juyuanhao!! :D

Not much time to do others as taking care of my pregnant wife and 2 yrs old boy.

Looking forward towards the Nadaam Festival later next month.
