Big book of Beijing
Danwei recently commented on a story in the San Francisco Chronicle in which the reporter ignorantly said that the Great Hall of the People was a difficult place to gain admission to.
People who want to avoid mistakes like that are advised to buy a copy of the Insider’s Guide to Beijing: a comprehensive guide to living in Beijing. It’s got all the phone numbers you need to avoid sounding like an ignoramus when trying to reserve events in supposedly top secret commie hide-outs.
You can buy the book online, for delivery both in and outside of China (link below).
Disclosure: your correspondent contributed to the business chapter of the book.
