M is for Music at the Mausoleum

As I keep saying the Mausoleum and grounds are very 'old school' communist style with wide lanes and stark soaring architecture and flags and beautiful grounds, but very orderly. So first I am showing you the part that isn't: the Pagoda and the gift shop. It is interesting on the very grounds of this rules are rules (fascist) that the culture though regulated to gift shops and small pagodas seeps through and is the area that is packed with people. Maybe I should have done the museum too, but I was going to the 'ethnology museum' and I can only do so much structured culture in a day. More posts of buildings and food to come.
