[New Release] China Bucket List 'Remembering Beijing' View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] A must-read book revealing the true face of Beijing, the most important capital city in China, which has emerged as one of the two major powers (G2), has been released.

When people think of Beijing, they usually know only the representative tourist spots like the Forbidden City or Tiananmen, but this book conveys the real charm of China based on the everyday life experiences of true Beijing locals.


Based on the experience of author and journalist Shim Jae-hoon, who served as the head of Yonhap News Agency's Beijing bureau for five years, the book vividly introduces places loved by Beijing locals such as parks, hutongs, and the Great Wall, and entertainingly explains why these places have become China bucket list destinations.


The lives of Beijing locals are reflected through the important source of park culture, emphasizing collective consciousness and group learning such as square dancing, which represent the Chinese system. Additionally, through the disappearing traditional old alleys called hutongs, the book conveys Beijing's past, present, and future. Furthermore, it introduces the confidence of the Chinese people and the strength of traditional history embedded within the Great Wall. It also showcases the latest trends such as camping by Beijing locals who have grown economically through the outskirts of Beijing, including Tianyunshan.
