Beijing Impressions (English-Chinese Edition): A Bilingual Notebook of 24 Places That Define the Capital

The Forbidden City, Great Wall, Hutongs, Peking Opera, Roast Duck and More — Read About Each Place in Chinese and English, Then Write Your Own Beijing Story on the Pages Beside Them
This is not a travel guide to Beijing, and it is not a heavy photo album. It is a bilingual notebook—part city portrait, part space for your own writing—built around 24 places that together show a Beijing deeper than the usual checklist. You read short bilingual pieces about the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, but also about the hutongs, the quadrangle courtyards, Peking Opera, crosstalk, the old teahouses, and the food that defines the city: roast duck, instant-boiled mutton, sugar-coated haws, and old Beijing snacks. Then you turn the page and find room to write your own impressions. The text is in Chinese and English, and the illustrations come from the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts. If you want a small, beautiful companion that helps you both understand Beijing and keep your own record of it—rather than read a conventional guidebook or use a plain blank notebook—this is it.

Detail

A City Is a Flowing River. Beijing Is Waiting for You.

Every city holds its stories in the spaces between its landmarks—in the quiet corners of ancient alleyways, the steam rising from a street-side dumpling stall, the autumn leaves falling over a 600-year-old palace courtyard.

Chinese Cities: Beijing Impressions is more than a travel companion. It is a bilingual literary handbook designed for the thoughtful traveler who wants to do more than simply see a city—they want to feel it, remember it, and make it their own.

What Makes This Book Special:

  • 24 Curated Landmarks, Four Thematic Chapters: Journey through 访古 (Revisiting the Past) with the Forbidden City, Great Wall, and Temple of Heaven; explore 青春影像 (Youthful Memories) at Peking University, 798 Art Zone, and Sanlitun; discover 传统 (Traditions) in hutong courtyards and old teahouses; and savor 美食 (Delicacies) from Beijing Roast Duck to sugar-coated haws-1-8.

  • Bilingual in Chinese & English: Every entry is presented in both languages, making it accessible for international readers while offering a window into Chinese cultural expression-2-3.

  • Exquisite Illustrations by Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts: The artwork team behind this handbook brings each location to life with refined, atmospheric illustrations that capture the mood of Beijing across seasons and centuries-1-4.

  • Designed as a Keepsake, Built for Your Own Story: With 192 pages of premium paper in a compact hardcover format (32开), this handbook leaves space for your own notes, sketches, and reflections. It is a book you fill, not just read
