It’s the holiday season and that usually means a period of overindulgence and the exchanging of gifts followed by a resolve to make a change next year. We’ve tried to help you get a head start on two of those three inevitable in our Cover Feature. We’ve dived hands first into the world of Chinese handicrafts to bring you what Beijing has to offer – from candy figurine blowing to Peking Opera mask painting. Why not get your hands on a new hobby, craft gifts for family and friends and – in some cases – even give a little to charity? We think that’s well worth getting your hands dirty.
Elsewhere in the magazine there's plenty more to keep you busy between all of that handiwork. Our Dining Feature falls fowl of the festive spirit as we pick Beijing’s 12 best ducks, we share a 1000-kilometer tuk-tuk ride with two intrepid adventurers in our Explore Feature and we try to join the city’s artisanal brewers in Party Like A ...
We've also got an Ecology Feature on the artists turning Beijing’s garbage into art, we take on krav maga with Eatalia’s Mario in Playdate and the Peking Man gives us his Guide To Getting A Seat on the Subway.
As ever we've got all the content that matters. The best in events, new bars, restaurants and shops and more prizes than ever, including tickets to The Cut’s New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner.
