Don’t you just love kooky Beijing pastimes? We came across this guy cracking an enormous whip by the National Art Museum of China (you can see for yourselves if you head there at around 7pm each evening). We don’t know why – and it makes a hell of a noise – but it’s pretty cool. Just stand well back!
Meet Sid. We’re rather fond of Sid. And not just because he looks like he’s just told a really dirty joke.
Chinese art collectors and history fiends alike will love Red Gate – which not only happens to be the city’s most unique art gallery, but as of this weekend, also its oldest.
She’s the hip and talented ceramicist beloved of many an international collector; he’s one of the most fun people we know. Artist and designer Lin Jing and fashion fixer Ray Lee have just revealed the newly refurbished FEI Space boutique in 798. And it’s pretty damn cool.
And we admit we’ve been going a little overboard with the ‘Miniature setting’, which turns every scene into something akin to a tiny toy land.
It’s no secret that MODO restaurant is one of our favourite Beijing restaurants, but it just got even better thanks to the addition of several new spring dishes and three very handy chef’s menus.
For instance, has there ever been a more delicious sounding dish than the ‘Seared Giant Japanese Scallop with Curried Cauliflower, Crispy Bacon and Rhubarb Sauce’?? No we didn’t think so. Add to that several light and scrumptious creations such as the Summer Peach Salad and the Seared Duckbreast with Watermelon and Feta and you know a meal here will be a special one every time.
