Beijing Streets
A walk through Beijing’s streets reveals the strange mix of extremes that exist in contemporary China. Newfound affluence contrasts with grinding poverty, gleaming residential towers rise above crumbling Hutongs and pockets of bohemians exist among stoic young soldiers marching in formation through the city streets. While it would be a mistake to assume that Beijing is representative of China as a whole, the scene on the city’s streets is very telling of the direction in which the country is headed.
