We also talk architecture and design with Sanlitun Soho architect Kengo Kuma and Shauna Liu, the designer and proprietor of 798’s hip luxury Yi Hotel. Caffeine fiends should read up on Lawrence Chen, owner of the Pingod 22 International Art Street café Unconditional Love Coffee and quite possibly Beijing’s best barista, and Dr Philip Brooks tells us about Beijing’s first Western-standard oncology clinic, the New Hope Center at the Beijing United Family Hospital.
Finally, we’d like to make note of and apologize for an error in the Day-by-Day events section, where Monday, July 12 and Tuesday, July 13 were misprinted as Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. A corrected PDF version of the events section is available here.
