How to Read Beijing Beyond the Monuments
The more interesting question is how to pace the city so its history, neighborhoods, dining, and contemporary culture begin to speak to one another.
Beijing is often introduced through scale. The more revealing version is slower: a courtyard morning, a museum with context, a table chosen for conversation, and a contemporary art visit that complicates the imperial frame.
