The February issue of the Beijinger is out now! If you don’t know by now, Lunar New Year falls on Valentine’s Day, so we thought it fit to mark the coincidence with a “comical” look at love in the capital. Follow our cover feature’s heroine, a lovelorn young tigress, through an emotional rollercoaster of romantic escapades with fellow creatures of the Chinese zodiac both great and small.
Elsewhere, we look at the threats facing China’s dwindling tiger population, while Fashion Five-Oh gets under the skin of Beijing’s fetish for animal print. In Dining, we munch on Chinese bangers, solo dining and “heartbreak” noodles, washing it all down with several bottles of sparkling wine. Lisa Liang shares One Love over Bob Marley Day with Sammy Ahadu, Wang Ge rounds up the pick of local bands to watch in 2010, Mary Dennis investigates China’s snowboarding hopes in the Vancouver Olympics, and we tell you where to watch the New Year fireworks. All of this plus all the latest bars, restaurants and shops for you to check out if you're staying in town for Spring Festival.
If you can't find a copy of the print magazine you can download it below. Happy New Year!
