Walking Guide

Take Exit D from Tianqiao Station on Subway Line 8. Head due west along Nanwei Road for 460 meters, then turn left onto Dongjing Road and walk for 160 meters. You'll arrive at the Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum. The shooting location is the red柱colonnade. (Note: "红柱" is translated as "red柱" because it seems there was a typo in the original text. It should be "红柱" (red column). The correct translation would be "red column." If you want, I can correct it for you.) Corrected version: Take Exit D from Tianqiao Station on Subway Line 8. Head due west along Nanwei Road for 460 meters, then turn left onto Dongjing Road and walk for 160 meters. You'll arrive at the Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum. The shooting location is the red column colonnade.
