agenda September 25th to October 8th

The latest issue looks forward to the National Day holiday with full listings for events including the Modern Sky Festival, AIR, Avril Lavigne and the World Folk Song Festival. In Try These, we profile new openings like Mosto, Sureno, Let’s Burger, Glen and Luga’s Villa. There are interviews with Sebastien Noat of Bling and traditional toymaker Tang Yujie, along with a look at the history of the newly reopened Qianmen area. Our cover feature, meanwhile, takes a look at the various health benefits that tea is said to offer, including helping you dodge the various bugs and viruses which are going around as the temperature cools and the air dries up. Pour yourself a cup then, and sit down to the new issue of agenda.
