Now Online!: Explore the Beijinger's September/October Issue
Exploration. The first few months of living in Beijing are often filled with enough exploration and nail-biting thrills to last a lifetime. But what happens when you’ve exhausted the bars, the restaurants, the fast and furious fling with solvents dressed as alcohol? The simple answer? More than you could possibly imagine!
As the leaves change color and temperatures reach something akin to hospitable, autumn is literally Beijing’s annual golden interlude, which is why we’ve dedicated this entire issue to getting out and making the most of this lush, if entirely too short-lived, season.
Within these glossy pages, I pick the brain of the city’s primo urban explorer to guide us laymen in discovering the capital’s forgotten and decaying sights, Jeremiah Jenne maps out three of the best historical city center treks, Kyle Mullin compiles five of the best alternative activities around town, and Robynne Tindall speaks to the Beijing Hikers about the less tourist-clogged portions of the Great Wall.

Further afield, Robynne Tindall provides tips on traveling and eating in Taipei and Tautvile Daugelaite helps with navigating China’s south via train. Stuck in town with the kids? Jeremiah Jenne discusses how to make the most of the Forbidden City and its unending dragons with the rugrats in tow.
Of course, you’ll also find reviews of Beijing’s brand-spanking-new gustatory delights, including Bottega Nali Patio, Cannon’s, and Home Thai for eats, as well as One Third, and Forty+ Taphouse for drinks. We’ll also delve into what to serve at a Mid-Autumn Festival dinner if you don’t feel like heading out.
Whatever your adventure, Beijing has it all, so take our disembodied hand and stare at our sand-brushed buttocks as we lead you through the best on offer.
