This may come as a surprise, but winter is one of our favourite times to be in Beijing. There are a number of things you can only enjoy once the temperature drops. So here’s our pick of the best to remind you why visiting Beijing in Winter rocks.
The Truth About Beijing’s Pollution
We all know there’s been a lot of fuss about Beijing’s pollution recently, but what’s the truth? Should you cancel your trip? Bespoke Beijing puts some facts out there to set the record straight. Now it’s going to get a bit scientific in places, so sit up straight and pay attention.

Tu Textiles
We’re always on the look out for artisanal, well-made-in-China products, and one of our favourite discoveries of the past few months has been Tu Textiles, a Beijing based design studio producing gorgeous China-inspired prints on eco-friendly fabrics. In fact their cushions are so lovely, you’ll be able to spot them in the bedrooms at the soon-to-open Temple Hotel any day now. Confirmation of their quality if ever we heard it.
That Was The Year That Was
The Beijing year in review…
It all went a bit ‘Mexican soap opera’ for China’s Communist Party this year, but a new Congress was elected in November as planned, and Mr Xi Jingping is now China’s top dog. The silver lining? It should finally put an end to all those annoying jokes about Hu Jintao’s surname.
When TRB met TCM: An Event Management Case Study
When we’re given the opportunity to create and manage a Beijing event with a twist, Team Bespoke can get rather excited. Ideas start whizzing around the office, mood boards are pieced together, large amounts of peanut brittle are consumed (all part of the creative process, you understand), and something begins to take shape.
