Beijing by Foot has mapped the city like never before. We've walked every hutong and every street, in search of the forgotten gems and hidden details. And now the result is here, presented on stylish, easy-to-carry cards, each of which features a walk on one side and a map on the other, marked with sites of interest and a route, as well as the city’s best restaurants, bars and shops. Readers can also get taste of what to expect over at the Beijing by Foot blog, which features, among other things, photos and reflections on the author's adventures exploring the web of bomb-shelter tunnels 30 meters under Nanluogu Xiang.
