Beijingers turned out in their thousands on Saturday for the rock 'n' roll themed burger extravaganza that is the 2018 Beijing Burger Festival. More than 40 vendors were kept busy slinging a mind-boggling array of options, from deep-fried soft shell crab burgers to eel patties to good old-fashioned American cheeseburgers.

It was a feast for the eyes and ears as well as the taste buds, as a chock-a-block lineup of headbang-worthy, hip-shake-inspiring musicians, and entertainers, including a karaoke contest that saw five budding rock stars take to the stage to compete for the chance to win a return flight to Europe with Turkish Airlines. The sing-off continues tomorrow with one more lucky contestant set to get their greasy mitts on a ticket.

Now that the first day is wrapped, see if you can spot yourself among the crowd as well as get a glimpse as to what you can expect tomorrow.
