Cana­di­ans like pets, and in res­i­den­tial neigh­bour­hoods it’s com­mon to see peo­ple walk­ing their dogs after an early diner, no mat­ter the weather.
How­ever, unlike French, Cana­di­ans are well-behaved and they pick up after their dogs—streets here are not dot­ted with dog poop.

Beijing By Night

Beijing By Night

Bei­jing By Night

Between 10pm and 5am, the city is alive and thriv­ing. Night mar­kets, busy streets, lights every­where — life doesn’t stop in Bei­jing.

    @Seraphine — China is a great place to be in right now, it has a lot of energy and so much is hap­pen­ing. But this is mostly true for the cities… the West­ern part of the coun­try isn’t so lucky.

    @sir jorge — Oh, tell me about it, I’m the biggest fan of Mex­i­can markets.

    @princesse ecos­saise — Nah, you can have… deep fried caramel apples instead if you like. ;-)

    @Bluefish — It is an great treat ;-)

    @kyh — I haven’t taste this one I think, but I love skew­ers in general.

    @johnada — See, in China, you could go out and eat some­thing right now!

    @shionge — I still trust Chi­nese food. Not so much the processed food but any­thing fresh.

    @Scarlet — I’m look­ing into direct flights Miami — Bei­jing :lol:

    @JoAnn’s D Eyes/Holland — Thank you JoAnn for your praise on my pictures!

    @Priyank — Not even, these pic­tures are just point and shoot. I don’t have the patience for a tripod!

    @Aiglee — Thank you ;-)

    @Linguist-in-Waiting — I have never heard that before actu­ally! Most shops tend to open later than in the West. A lot of small busi­nesses (and there are a lot now!) just open when­ever it’s busy, which is usu­ally a lot. Only fran­chises and posh shop­ping malls are 9:00am to 9:00pm.

    @Seraphine — Oh tell me about it! I’m not great at trans­lat­ing, even men­tally, and I always think in what­ever lan­guage I’m using, which is confusing!

    @RennyBA — It’s a great place, very dif­fer­ent from Europe. It’s more latin in some kind of way.

    @khengsiong — Thanks! Where did you eat the best Bei­jing duck? I find Quan­jude okay, if a bit expen­sive. I found another great place in Wang­fu­jing too.

    See our lik­ings are worth it! If you were not night owl; you would have missed this great night ;)

    Bei­jing looks great at night.

    Zhu,
    I ate the ‘bet­ter’ Bei­jing Duck near my hotel, but I no longer remem­ber the place.

  • Graham says:

    mmm­m­m­m­m­m­m­m­m­m­m­mmm!!!! Sim­ply divine!! Every shot cap­tures the magic of the loca­tion! What cam­era do you use, it really han­dles night time so well. The header photo is like some­thing out of a travel mag­a­zine… totally per­fect and so buzzing with electricity.

    I also really like the mar­ket scenes. I love walk­ing around mar­kets late at night.

    Zhu, you really are the mas­ter of travel pho­tog­ra­phy! Thank you so much for shar­ing them with us xxx
