quirkyBeijing is the travel blog that I wrote about the gently offbeat while living in the Chinese capital from 2007 to 2011. I covered design, food, urban spaces, culture, and local history, seeking out the more unusual pockets of life found in an Asian megacity.
Selected posts:
- Did China invent the restaurant?
- What’s In and What’s Out in Chinese Popular Culture
- “None Holds For Me the Abiding Charm That is Peking”
Content from the blog was mentioned or carried in these venues:
