This book is a great gift for both visitors to Beijing and veteran residents alike. It is the culmination of a column that ran for two years describing the different customs and areas of Old Beijing. With beautiful illustrations done by the accomplished traditional Chinese artist, Yue Feng, the book details several cultural sites and customs. There's even a section that translates Beijing slang for people from out of town (this section is in Chinese). Written in flowing English and beautiful Chinese, this book is sure to open up many aspects of Beijing life to all. It even tells the reader which bus or subway they can take to reach certain sites!
