It’s uncommon to see a photo from Beijing that isn’t covered in a layer of smog. This cleverly cropped capture from relatively new photographer Alex@China makes me long to wander down 银æ大é“, kicking leaves as I went. My imagination is likewise cropped.Read More
Not long ago I went out to dinner with some friends who had just recently arrived in China. Since this was their first time in Beijing, we naturally went for the city’s signature dish at Quanjude. Just as any religious pilgrimage is accompanied by certain obligatory rituals and prayers, so too does the Beijing visitor’s …Read More
Here’s an interesting short documentary by DAZED & CONFUSED x DIESEL about the Beijing-based comic collective Cult Youth:

In the wee hours of the dusty morn, a hero lurks the alleyways of old Beijing. He has the body of the Spartan and the face of a ghoul. His eyes and cheekbones seem chiseled from granite. shirt and pants are torn asunder and streaked with every oil, chemical, paste and sauce imaginable. With his …Read More
