TRAVEL • OCT 2015 • BEIJING, CHINA

The check-in to Beijing, China's massive capital of over 11mil people, was greatly motivated by the need to admire the thriving modern arts and culture scene there, though its setting against a historical backdrop that stretches back three millennia was quite a unique contrast. The modern architecture circuit is easily followed by searching for all the SOHO developments in the city, and along the way, hutongs and their new-found quirkiness make for an interesting distraction that is worthy of an afternoon here and there.

As a spin-off to the main album, this subsidiary album focuses on the old ways of living in Beijing, and on the string of attractions that have continued to capture the fancy of cultural fans from around the world.
