Beijing CD Jazz Club


Signs at the Beijing CD Jazz Club at night.


"The venue is modelled on a Paris jazz club, and just oozes cool style. Owner and saxophonist Liu Yuan is sensational and the club regularly hosts reknowned local and international artists. Has a good mixture of expats and jazz-loving locals."


More info on Liu Yuan and the Beijing CD Jazz Club can be found here.

One Big Sign


A close-up view of a big sign near the Great Wall of China at Badaling advertising the 2008 Summer Olympics, now being held in Beijing.


The slogan "One World One Dream" is featured in English and Chinese, along with the "Dancing Beijing" emblem, backed by supporting struts that appear to be patterned after the unique architecture of the Beijing National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest.
