2011 Jul 27 Out Now - the Beijinger August 2011: Take A Hike
The August issue of the Beijinger is out now and what better time for us to unveil the new way to read the mag online than our Art issue? Inside the magazine - as you can see below - you'll find a veritable visual feast as we take the high roads and the low roads to explore Beijing's Art Districts. We're always hearing Chinese modern art this and Beijing's the center of that so we went for a wander around to find out where's best to have a great day out seeing it for yourself. Now you can impress your dates, astound your visitors and get fit while getting as much intellectual stimulation as you can handle.
Also this month, we interview a tattoo artist with no tattoos for Beijing Folk, we let the public turn art critic in Talk About Town and we find out all about the aliens ruining China's ecology - don't worry it's not expats ... this time. We've got our grills greasy for a Dining Feature on DIY Barbecue and put blueberry muffins to the taste test, we've been taken for a motorbike tour of the grasslands in our Explore Feature and had a chat with British Sea Power about what's naughty-sexy.
Splatter on the best in events, new bars, restaurants and shops plus old favorites like Ich Bin Ein Beijinger (where Kaiser takes a stand on TCM) and you've got the August issue of the Beijinger. Since we love you all so much we didn't stop there. We've got more prizes than ever before, including two pairs of shoes and some art-themed gift packs. And yes, one of the pairs of shoes graces our cover.

Naked City: Streaking Artist Finally Revealed
The mysterious streaker who has been photographed running across Beijing streets with items including a crucifix and a sex doll has been exposed as artist Li Binyuan, a graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
Li seems to have revealed himself because although his midnight streaks through Wangjing have gone viral (NSFW), his claimed 10 dashes have only been recorded or posted six times. Let's face it: if you're a performance artist running naked through the streets of Beijing and surprised drivers only photographed or videoed you six times, that's just not enough exposure.

Out Now – the Beijinger April 2013 – The Eat is On
This month’s Cover Feature celebrates the diversity of Chinese cuisine and the finest examples of what can be enjoyed right here in Beijing. We asked two food experts for their picks and we asked them to go beyond the city’s provincial offices and look a little deeper. If you want to eat your way around China without leaving the comfort of the outer Ring Road then you have a brand new handy guide. The eat is on.
Normally our April issue is devoted to our Annual Reader Restaurant Awards. We’ve taken a different approach this year. You can find all of the winners listed in the magazine but all of the in-depth coverage is on our blog. That’s where you’ll find everything you could possibly want to know about the Awards, including our Experts’ Picks.
