Recording Beijing

RecordingBeijing.com is a blog dedicated in capturing and recording the everyday life in Beijing, providing useful and credible information about living in Beijing, food, travel, shopping, housing, transportation, culture and customs, leisure, arts, and most importantly, the people.

Being a fast-changing city, Beijing is losing its precious memory on a daily basis. Traditions, cultures, architectures, arts, and lots of other “old” elements of Beijing are being replaced by the brutal wave of globalization.

The old and the new Beijing is being presented in different media forms in various ways. You can find sound clips, pictures, and videos of different people, things, places, and events in Beijing. Read the articles, listen to the sound clips, and watch the videos now, because some you experience today may no longer exist tomorrow.

No celebrities, no world-changing events, and no grandeur figures. RecordingBeijing.com only focus on the ordinary life of ordinary people, because they are the ones to make history and shape the future.

I mainly talk about Beijing on the blog but sometimes I’ll also be rambling about stuff happening in other places of China. If you want to have a better understanding of Beijing or China, this is the place to get that information!
