PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
A collection of wry and telling photographs of Beijing; a highly original and unforgettable impression of one of the world's oldest and most fascinating cities. Accompanied by stories, essays, and poetry by China authors, storytellers and academics, it leads us through 'hutong' alleys, antique markets, artists' communities, gay bars, parks and the nostalgic streets of memory. It takes us back to the often-ignored Mongolian roots of the city.
