When Beijing is mentioned what comes to mind? Only Peking Duck, the Forbidden City or the tangled 'Birds Nest' Olympic stadium? Jing Jing Thomas, a native Beijinger, returns like a migratory bird each summer to a hometown so familiar and yet increasingly unfamiliar. She leads us on a truly personal journey through tortuous Beijing alleys as momentous changes shake and shape the city... - Delicious aromas floating on Ghost Street - Factory 798 - industrial art or the post-modern art industry - The faded red-light district of old Beijing - Crazed gamblers on fighting crickets - Eunuchs - what did they lose and gain - The Executioners Gate - death by a thousand cuts - The world's largest antique market - organised chaos Whether it is nostalgia, surprise or simply exploring the ancient weathering and avant-garde style, it is to be found in Beijing...
