If you’re reading this, then you must not have seen the latest issue of the Beijinger. Had you seen it, you'd be well on your way adventure-ing.
Still reading, are ya? Then you might as well go pick yourself up a copy of the magazine and live vicariously through our cover feature writers, Shelley Jiang and Gabriel Monroe, who recently spent two months navigating the uncharted frontiers of China.
And they're about to do it again ...
But that's not to say there isn't plenty to explore right here in good ol' Beijing. In fact, there's mystery just about around every corner – or up a wall for that matter (rock climbing anyone? See Sports). Or you can let choreographer Yang Liping introduce you to his upcoming show, The Sound of Yunnan (Stage). Plus, we've got Beijing's Top 5 waterparks, beer gardens, cheese dives and ways to get a tan without going anywhere near a beach. But if you do like beaches – and you should, they're great – you can head to Taipei (see Citylite in Explore).
What else is in store for you in tbj's July issue? An interview with the well-traveled DJ Bodycode (Bars & Clubs), that's what, who'll be at White Rabbit on July 3. We also take you back your very first time, in Beijing, and show you how to party like a tourist (see PLA in B&C). Meanwhile, the Fashion Five-Oh break down the key to a clean getaway, while Beijing Eats gives you the lowdown on some of the city's best provincial restuarants.
Also, find out why Zhang Shouwang, the brilliant mind behind Carsick Cars, isn't a rock star, and which Beijing rock stars These Are Powers are MySpace buddies with (Music). Check out some of the latest teeny weeny sexy bikinis in Hot Buys (Style), 18 reasons why we still need superman (Art), the path to finding your Zen with hermit specialist/author Bill Porter, and – as always – all the latest shops, restaurants, bars and clubs opening up around town.
