Tottering on the wall of past and present, as if uncertain in which direction to move, Beijing is a fascinating, yet often misunderstood, hodgepodge of cultures: controversial space-age buildings tower alongside ancient monuments; traditional Peking opera fights for new audiences weaned on a diet of pop music and street dancing; while shops, restaurants and art galleries rush to take over old granaries, watchtowers, courtyard houses and factory sites. Beijing Chic gets right to the heart of this rapidly transforming city, unveiling the many dazzling gems found within its broad avenues and quaint alleys. Providing fresh insights, this guide will leave would-be travellers with an insider's glimpse into the spirited and perpetually buzzing Chinese capital.
