The Urban Edit
If you’re in two minds about experiencing winter in Beijing, don’t be! Much like New York in the snow, China’s capital has a special appeal unique to the season. To give you some inspiration, we’ve come up with this casual two-day winter itinerary. Enjoy!
If your celeb radar is tuned to CHINA, you might have known that Tyra Banks, American media personality, actress, former model, gorgeous gal and creator of the TV show America’s Next Top Model, was in Beijing recently!
Outta here, Oscars! Get lost, Golden Globes. Err, be off, Booker Prize. Make way for the only awards that count… Bespoke Beijing’s Brilliantly Bizarre Beijing Awards! (BBBBBBA for short*).

This November 17 at Beijing’s JW Marriott Hotel, Bryony and Li Ying from Bespoke Beijing will be hosting a booth at the WEConnect China Marketplace 2013, a unique forum for women entrepreneurs in China to showcase their goods and services to top multinational companies. This year the keynote speaker is Walmart China Chief Financial Officer, Anne Myong.
Getting stuck in Beijing traffic has its plus sides. (Stay with us.) Nowhere is China’s emphatic march from third world to world power more explicit than on the capital’s highways and hutongs. The roads here are a theatre of the wonderful, the weird and the precariously absurd. So if you find yourself idling in the back of a Beijing taxi, just gaze out the window and see how many of these you can spot.
