The foreign embassies in Beijing are mainly located from the East Second Ring to the East Third Ring, and then towards the northeast direction of the airport road, with around three to four hundred embassies in these areas.

at first glance|look|then|knows|not|at|waiting|bus
At a glance, it was clear they were not waiting for a bus.

So why were they lining up? Later, I asked others and found out that it was the embassy, and those people were going abroad.

I only know that places with soldiers at the entrance and around are very important, and I might never have the chance to go in.

Thinking about it, Zhongnanhai in Beijing is important, and embassies of other countries are also important.

That is the "country within a country", not just anyone can enter.

However, without personal or diplomatic major events, usually no one thinks of it.

另一方面 , 工作 是 工作 , 生活 是 生活 。
