Introducing our On Business package!

Bespoke Beijing's On Business Package — From car and local phone hire to airport transfers, we've got you covered

How hard can it be? All you have to remember to do is present your business cards with both hands, eat whatever’s put in front of you and never cause anyone to ‘lose face’. Oh and then there’s the getting around thing. And not being able to speak the language…

For those who don’t have time to waste (and who like it when things run smoothly) we’ve created ‘On Business’, a customizable Beijing business package that includes two airport transfers, three-day’s worth of car hire and a local cellphone preprogrammed with useful numbers – all for under 600USD (3,740RMB).

Beijing Geriatric Glee Club

October 23, 2012 Beijing

Some of our most joyful – not to mention photo-worthy – moments happen when we stumble across old folk enjoying themselves en masse on Beijing’s streets. There aren’t many countries where you’ll find septuagenarians dancing and singing with wild abandon in public. So if you’re yet to have this quintessential Beijing moment, allow us to help you out a little. Here’s where to find your nearest Beijing Geriatric Glee Club.

Gung Ho Pizza Fruit Salad: Well done us

February 10, 2012 Beijing

Too many dumplings (and a strong adversity to exercise in -9°C) means we here at Bespoke Beijing don’t feel the healthiest at this time of year. The answer? Ordering a Gung Ho Pizza fruit salad and pretending the coconut dressing that comes with it is ‘low fat yoghurt’. Makes us feel much better. Thanks Gung Ho.

Gung Ho Pizza Fruit Salad — Mmmm, fresh fruity goodness!

TRB (Temple Restaurant Beijing)

February 5, 2012 Beijing

There are numerous reasons why Temple Restaurant Beijing deserves to have a great fuss made about it – but for the sake of brevity we’ll try to keep it to one. Put simply, no other restaurant in Beijing occupies such a spectacular and inspiring space.

Chinese New Year 2012: That was the week that was…

January 31, 2012 Beijing

Sadly, the Chinese New Year festivities are nearly over, but we had a ball. And while we wouldn’t necessarily recommend anyone to travel to Beijing over this period (all of the best restaurants are closed for starters), we do think it’s a wonderful time to see Beijing at its festive best.

Here is a collection of colourful photos taken by Team Bespoke over the Chinese New Year 2012 holiday by way of demonstration!
