11 Reasons to Love Beijing Traffic

November 8, 2013 Beijing

The roads here are a theatre of the wonderful, the weird and the precariously absurd.

Fed up of seeing the same smoggy, hazy images every time Beijing gets a mention in the press? Wish you could see a side of our city that’s a little more sexy, a little more PHWOAR!? Yeah, us too. So we pulled together a few of the many pics we’ve taken in the last year or so that show Beijing’s at it’s blue and buxom best. Warning: some of the vistas in this vid are so clean, they’re filthy.

Special credit to photography stud Ben Macmillan (some of these stunners are his), and our shutter-happy former intern, the lovely Aurore.

The Beijing Time Chase Made History!

November 1, 2013 Beijing
