May 2012

The battle for the crown in Beijing nightlife has rumbled on for another year but you, the public, have spoken up and declared who you think should be crowned the king. This month, we reveal all the results of our Reader Bar & Club Awards and put the rivalries into context. Plus we've made some natty coats of arms.

Elsewhere, we've found out about all of the pesticides that might be making your tea toxic, we've dipped our toes into the world of white-collar Thai boxing and we've learned how to paint faces. We've also goaded Beijing's biggest bar personalities to ask each other the questions they've always wanted to ask, we've got photos from The New Yorker and we've got the best bar food around in our Dining Feature.

The rest of the pages are packed with what you'd expect: all the content that matters. The best interviews, the events that count, all of the new bars, restaurants and shops, plus more prizes than you could win at a jousting tournament.
