It's the time of year when people are leaving, are thinking about leaving or have left Beijing. Whether it's summer vacation, relocating, thinking about what to do with that October break or booking flights to home for the holidays, travel is on our minds. We didn't think that you'd want to see yet more photos of exotic destinations that you'll probably never go to so we've tried to give you some more practical tips in our Cover Feature. We've a booking challenge to pit the internet against travel agents, we've a packing challenge to pit the professionals against the rank amateurs and we've tales of some of the challenges that you've faced getting from A to B because, let's face it, everybody likes to hear other people's horror stories.
In the rest of the magazine this month we've probably the most dolphin coverage that an inland city listings-based magazine could reasonably justify but it turns out that you can swim with them right here in Beijing. We've got an interview with those sisters of freak folk, CocoRosie, in the mix too. Then there's the girls from High on Heels and their plan to stiletto mosquitoes, the timber-shivering antics of Beijing Sailing Centre, Kaiser's take on When A Billion Chinese Jump and denim being not just for jeans.
Plus you'll find the lowdown on all of the new shops, bars and restaurants in town and all of our regular columns. It's out now but if you can't wait then you can download it below.
